Office of Energy The Office of Energy makes every effort to pay creditors within 30 days, however there are circumstances under which this is not possible. Examples, which are reflected in the figures provided below are: Accounts in dispute Accounts are not approved for payment until any dispute is resolved. Grant payments Grant payments are not made until the Office is satisfied that any required milestones have been met. This can cause delays in payment.
