Can the electricity or gas retailer bill me past the current period?
Yes, it can issue a backbill or a catch-up bill, but there are limits on how far back it can go.For electricity and natural gas, a retailer can only go back nine months, from the date the customer is notified of the undercharging, if the backbill is because of something the retailer did or didn't do.
But if the reason for the backbill isn't anything to do with the retailer’s action or inaction, it can go back 12 months (e.g. if the distributor didn't provide meter reading information to the retailer).
There are no limits to how far the retailer can go back if you repeatedly blocked access to the meter, or if you acted unlawfully (e.g. tampered with the meter).There is also no limit on electricity and gas backbills for business customers using more than 40 megawatt hours of electricity a year or 1000 gigajoules of gas. The retailer can go right back to when the undercharge started, subject to your contract terms and the statute of limitations.
LPG retailers can bill a residential customer back for up to nine months. There’s no limit on LPG backbills for business customers.
