I was to switch to ReAmped https://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/559155 but started looking for better deals on electricity.

KoganEnergy seems to have low prices in usage ($0.1560 / kWh) and controlled load ($0.1107), but high supply charges ($1.1623 & 0.0352) and low FIT ($0.0384), so most beneficial for someone without or with a small solar panel system.

Details of all their QLD plans can be found at https://assets.kogan.com/files/energy/pdf/rates/2020june/KE-…

In my case, it works out around 10% cheaper than Origin's 26% special 'stay-with-us' plan.

  Without solar that's gonna add up real quickly..
  And if you have solar, as if you wouldn't go with someone like Amber Electric, where the usual total kwh price (every cost included) is around 19-20c (where I live in Melb)?

  Yeah it's a "live" wholesale price, but if you have solar, 99.9% of the time you will be on solar when the prices spike once or twice a month.

  Also nice to enjoy being paid to use electricity every now and then lol

  I might have to start looking at my power bill. I'm with Alinta and get some kind of early payment discount, but no doubt I'd be saving more if I changed to this or maybe even Origin.

    head to www.energymadeeasy.gov.au and it will compare all of the retail plans for you, factoring in your circumstances. I was with Alinta 12 months ago. I switched to ReAmped about 7 months ago, and have just switched to Nectr. Got cheaper power AND a $100 bill credit for switching each time.

      Take it with a grain of salt. I'm with Lumo and the rate I've got isn't listed on that site.

        How did you access that rate though? I assume it is a better deal that they move customers to in order to retain their business and it is not available to sign up for via a web form on their site?

          @eggboi: I called them with a couple of offers from AGL and Amaysim and basically said can you beat this..and they did.

          Can also mention a door knocker presented you with a good offer recently and you can't remember what it is (they have some hidden deals in those door knocker specials, say you didn't want to sign up on the day in case it was a scam etc).

      Was about to register with Nectr and realized they can give me $50 if someone referred me. They may give it to the person who's referring as well. Would you mind sending me a referral? You can inbox me or reply here.

        Thanks for your offer, but you can get the full $100 for yourself if you sign up without a referral link :)

        If you use a referral code, it is split 50/50 between referrer and referee.

          @eggboi: Ah right! Thought referral was additional to the $100. Thanks for the info!

            @Dannyboi09: Hey Dannyboi09 I think Bohdud is mistaken. $50 is in addition to the $100. If you go energymadeeasy, it confirms this.

            Mod: Edited - Referral links in comments not allowed.

            I'm really happy with Nectr so far and their basic offer includes 100% carbon neutral that is as competitive as non-carbon neutral products offered by the other networks.

              @Pentanol: Cheers for your input here. I just heard back from Nectr and they confirmed (as you say) the new applicant gets a total of $150 off their second bill during the current promo if using a referral link.

    Probably the same but I think the discounts have now finished as of 15th of this month. Government has made them all use some flat pricing structure so discounts gone now advertising below market rate or something like that.

  As long as you don't need anything from then, then it's fine. Once you need support, they are not helping at all.

  +/- 10 days after joining I got a 30% price increase for electricity in daily supply charge and another 10% in daily supply charge for gas.

  After submitting a picture of meter read, they supposedly updated the read, afterwards they compensated by reducing the consumption with 10000 MJ (so -10000MJ on one day; like I was supplying gas into the network). This might sound good, but being under billed consistently is just making sure you get will get a $1000 bill at some point in the future.

  They consistently give wrong information to me about the next meter read and then use the estimated read which doesn't increase.
  I asked to transfer out, they put the next meter read +/- 3 months out from when that was requested. And they provided me the wrong date again of the meter read.
