CL2 rate:
21.90c/kWh inc. GST

    Been meaning to decide on something since my plan 'expirered' a little while ago. Seems like the tarrifs have jumped up about 30% since a year or so ago (always usde to be similar or a bit more before this time, so better get something sorted too).

    The old rates were a lot better
    (Origin Flexi Rate ePlus)

    General Usage 18.364 cents per kWh
    Controlled Load 2 Usage 13.713 cents per kWh
    Daily Supply 91.453 cents per day
    Daily Supply - Controlled 2.096 cents per day

    Origin Everyday Rewards Variable
    $100 credit plug plus everyday rewards bonuses

    5,000 bonus sign up points and earn 1 point for every $1 (incl GST) bill charge. Origin Go Zero Electricity starts from $1.50 per week, and Origin Go Zero Natural Gas starts from $1 per week.

    • irma on 15/05/2023 - 14:55

      In my case the solar feed-in tariff (14c for the first 4000kWh) going to save me a lot compare to Origin 5c/kWh

      • G-rig on 15/05/2023 - 15:12

        That's pretty good. Don't have solar unfortunately.

  • naruto128 on 15/05/2023 - 14:53

    Got placed on waiting list . Seems they are "only taking on a limited number of customers at a time."

    • irma on 15/05/2023 - 14:57

      Oh really? I didn't get that when I tried to join.
      You can't join online though. A rep needs to call you to go through the rates and T&C etc..

  • CachePC on 15/05/2023 - 15:00

    Agl allows 12c for first 14kwh per day exported as part of their solar savers and then 5c there after per day.

    14x365=4380KWh x 12c = $613.2
    Ovo works out at $560 for 4000KWh exported ($586.6) for the same 4380KWh.

    If you export more than 5.710MWh in a year you'll be better off with the Ovo deal in SE QLD than Agl it appears

    • irma on 15/05/2023 - 15:44

      Thanks for the info.
      Based on what I can see, AGL charges 123.9c for supply + 7.75c for solar meter so that's a little higher than 110c that OVO charges.
      Also they give up to $100 credit as opposed to OVO $190
      In this case, I save a little more with OVO, but I agree, they pricing is a bit similar

  • Fatboy74 on 15/05/2023 - 16:04

    Checked it out and my quote is
    Anytime unit rate:
    27.72c/kWh

    CL2 unit rate:
    19.91c/kWh

    Supply charge:
    99c/day

    Any reason why it’s even cheaper than your quote?

    • xsacha on 15/05/2023 - 16:19

      It's no accident your numbers are 10% out. Yours exclude GST. The number in original post are correct.

      • Fatboy74 on 15/05/2023 - 16:22

        Thank you!
        Edit. Just checked and it says INCLUSIVE of GST. Weird

  • M00Cow on 15/05/2023 - 16:13

    For Solar, winter is coming, I didn't even produce 12kw today.

    I am based in QLD

    Whats the demand charge 10c/kWh?

    On Energy Australia
    I only get 6.6c/kWh FIT
    But 93c/day & 17c/kWh .

    • sh4hp on 15/05/2023 - 16:56

      I got 4.something ,/kWh with EA, down from 9.7 when I first signed up, which prompted me to switch providers. VIC based, so maybe that's common?

  • G-rig on 16/05/2023 - 05:54

    Just signed up, used a random referral so someone should be benefitting
    The rates seem a bit better than the basic Origin deals. Not that worried about ER points & good enough.

    You’ll be receiving $190 in credit paid over 12 months

  • chrisharry53 on 16/05/2023 - 10:07

    $105 cashback with Shopback plus the $190 if you don’t use a referral code.

    • G-rig on 16/05/2023 - 10:12

      Don't think you'd get both, plus you get all those pricks calling you from the comparison site.

    • G-rig on 16/05/2023 - 11:22

      Can't usually use another code if using cashbacki thought

      • chrisharry53 on 16/05/2023 - 12:55

        Correct, you wouldn’t get cashback as I said for referral code but you definitely get the $190 paid monthly. And one phone call is not too hard to handle. Only called me once and I said thanks but I have now gone through Shopback.

        • G-rig on 16/05/2023 - 12:56

          So isn't $190 better than $105 cashback?
          The referral code wouldn't be listed on the Shopbop site, unless I'm missing something..

          Anyway already signed up using referral.

          • chrisharry53 on 16/05/2023 - 20:00

            @G-rig: You get both rather than the referer getting $190. So, everyone gets $190. If you went through Shopback you would have got $105 cashback AS LONG as you didn’t use the referral code.

            • G-rig on 16/05/2023 - 20:13

              @chrisharry53: Yeah I used a random referral so both people should get $190. Seems better than $105.

              • chrisharry53 on 16/05/2023 - 20:41

                @G-rig: Yep, not for you personally though as you could have got $105 plus the $190 but the random is a winner.

                • G-rig on 16/05/2023 - 22:41

                  @chrisharry53: Not going to cancel and apply again, sounded like it wasn't even working for most people.

            • macr0hard on 01/06/2023 - 16:59

              @chrisharry53: was on the phone with an ovo rep just then and they said it's either the cashback or the $190, not both. Did you actually get both?

              • chrisharry53 on 03/06/2023 - 08:05

                @macr0hard: Cashback tracked but I won’t know for months yet as I only signed up recently.

                • macr0hard on 06/06/2023 - 13:25

                  @chrisharry53: Ao you signed up online and didn’t have to go through a rep?

                  • chrisharry53 on 10/06/2023 - 09:18

                    @macr0hard: I did but I ended up canceling my switch as wanted to wait. I then took up a $100 gift card offer to switch elec and gas and also get the $190 Ovo credit for elec.

  • G-rig on 16/05/2023 - 12:26

    No android app for Australia apparently..

  • Moncastle on 17/05/2023 - 06:10

    I am in Qld as well with Nectr energy Your Electricity Charges are increasing as well.

    Nectr Hive Saver plan.

    Charge Description Units Charges
    General usage charge cents per kWh 20.900
    Controlled load 2 cents per kWh 16.500
    Supply charge - General Usage cents per day 92.400

    This is my old plan due to expire , Nectr 100% Clean, which ends on 26th June 2023

    Charge Description Units Charges
    General usage charge cents per kWh 18.920
    Controlled load 2 cents per kWh 15.950
    Supply charge - General Usage cents per day 88.000

    Ovo rates appears to be higher than Nectr new rates. I am not sure if Nectr are taking new customers but worth checking out.

  • macr0hard on 01/06/2023 - 16:34

    just did a quote and only got 12c FIT. Requested a call back and they never called. I think Powershop is going to get my business

    • irma on 01/06/2023 - 16:39

      That's disappointing..
      I think it's depending where you live.
      I just tried to do quote and I'm still getting 14c FIT.
      There is an option to enter your details there now so looks like you won't need to speak to a person to join anymore?

      • macr0hard on 01/06/2023 - 22:51

        oh they called, a bit later, but i'm in NSW so it's only 12c, I'll try again on the website tomorrow to see if I can do it online.

  • macr0hard on 01/06/2023 - 22:52

    Spoke to a rep and he mentioned "bill smoothing", like they will estimate your usage/export and bill you a certain amount every month. If you don't go with this option the rates are higher. Anyone has experience/knowledge about this you could share?

  • G-rig on 06/06/2023 - 10:03

    Bloody origin were chasing hard with a retention deal, so many calls and wouldn't provide anything in writing for ages. ended up just staying sticking with the ovo sign up. I think it's still better due to the $190 bill credit vs nothing.

    Out of interest, origin offered me:
    General usage 22.72
    Daily supply 104.14
    Based on average yearly 3395.

    Seems to be flat rate and no CL2 (off-peak rates).

    More painful than changing your internet, but they should just adverse the better rates on the website to start with.

  • metalhead on 07/06/2023 - 05:12

    Thanks OP switched to these guys and used random referral.

    I'm in QLD, couldn't really find any better deals really.
    Currently out of contract with Origin.

    These ongoing price rises are crazy. Call me a conspiracy theorist, I have a feeling it is a way to control the little guy makin money off Crypto Mining..

  • LambChop on 13/06/2023 - 09:17

    Is there any indication that the rates listed on the OVO website will be going up soon?

    I'm currently with Alinta and after July 1 they will be less competitive than the current OVO rates, but I'm not keen to switch if there are known increases in the works for OVO.

    • G-rig on 13/06/2023 - 22:29

      It's anyone's guess, but if you sign up you'll be guaranteed those rates for a year I thought. Sounds like what you're on isn't too bad, really only 2 weeks or so to July so it's the right time to look or after your contact up.

    • ChrissyL on 18/06/2023 - 00:03
      +1

      OVO rates will go up in August.

      • G-rig on 18/06/2023 - 13:29

        Even if just signed up? 12 month contract.
        Unless you mean most or all electricity rates go up then.

  • Ughhh on 18/06/2023 - 13:33

    Supply charge (¢/day): 143.9

    …..😑
