If you are an existing customer who is planning to move, you just need to call Momentum Energy to inform them about your new address. They will then organise your account to be disconnected from your current location and connected at your new property. They will however, need three business days to receive your final meter read before they can arrange for this move. So do make sure you give them enough advance notice.
