Origin Energy will compensate thousands of customers across the nation up to 60 dollars each per household after an Australian Competition and Consumer Commission investigation into the energy market found its "Ongoing Saver" electricity plan gave inaccurate savings estimates.
The regulator stated customers were misled about potential savings relative to standard rates as per the inquiry.
The total refund amount is 270,000 dollars, which equates to a significant payout for the company.
Affected customers will be given payments automatically without submit claims shortly.
