Origin Energy will compensate thousands of customers throughout Australia 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 incorrect savings estimates.
The regulator confirmed customers were misled about potential savings against standard rates as shown in the report.
The total refund amount is 270,000 dollars, which represents a significant payout for consumers.
Affected customers will get payments automatically without submit claims soon.
