As per the title, GloBird currently seems to be the most competitive energy provider (at least in NSW) offering prices 30% lower than the reference price and guaranteeing NO Increase in 2023!

In addition to this, you can also get the following discounts:

Further 1% lower with 1% direct debit discount
Further 1% lower with 2% pay on time discount

Lastly, you could potentially also get the $50 credit upon joining, see deal here.

Note: The deal may be similar for other states as well but I can't attest so have marked it as NSW only.

Update: There have been reports from users that their rates are different when using a referral link compared to when checked on comparison website. If this applies to you, please ensure that you don't signup with higher rates and instead call up GloBird and ask them to apply the referral manually to their advertised rates. You will have to reach out to your referrer to get their account number etc so that GloBird can manually apply the referral.

PS. Please always check your welcome email as that should have the rates which applies to you. All the best :)

    I get where you are coming from. I tried to call once but was unable to get through. I then tried their ticket/e-mail system. They were responsive to those and got back to me within the day so I am feeling okay.
    
    Seems calling is not easy to do, but to be fair I was on hold for about 70 minutes with GloBird when I called them the same day.

Just Received a letter (in Victoria) from simply energy to advise to switch to the simply basic plan. We are on the Racv 45% off for electricity and 30% off for gas. Should we switch to another plan? Cheers

        @amityaaron: I'm also interested!
        
        I recently talked to EA retention team and they pretty much said the pricing is increasing and they couldn't offer any better than Globird and couldn't guarantee a lock in (with a high solar FIT). Globird's 15c/kwh (for first 8kwh) FIT knocked it out of the park for me, since I export quite a bit. I also pointed out to the EA rep that their current 'new' plans are cheaper than what my price is increasing to, and they palmed it off and basically said its the responsibility of the customer to check the current offers. In essence, if customers aren't checking their bills and notices, they'll be on a higher rate for no reason - I feel for elderly customers who may not be aware of this.

        I had a friend get them to do 25% discount and they locked for 12 months without him asking
        
        maverickjohn on 21/07/2023 - 17:55
        
        @bargainhunter9: They lock the discount for 12 months though don't they?
        
        bargainhunter9 on 21/07/2023 - 17:58
        
        @maverickjohn: Oh, I thought you guys meant locked the rate for 12 months! Oops! Thanks
        Also, it looks like Globird will put me ahead if EA decides to up their rate by another 10c again. (A rate and supply increase of 10c would make EA approximately $120 higher per quarter, even with the 31% discounts).
        
        Are electricity price increases on a schedule, or is it just random?

Sent us a 30% increase 1 August. Churned to TangoEnergy next day like many others bringing the increase down to 10%. They must of lost a ton of customers, 3 weeks later they reduce their rates. Ausnet VIC.
nwa on 20/07/2023 - 15:57

Last week I noticed the rates were slightly lower for electricity, and now they saying 25% discount, instead of 30% discount.
UncleRico on 25/07/2023 - 16:13

Looks like the plans have gone up by 5%-10% - at least in metro Sydney.

Wish I'd noticed before signing up a another house under referral. Could be a brief stay…
- IMadeYouReadThis on 25/07/2023 - 16:27
  
  Nope, still seeing the prices 30% lower than the reference price plus the additional 2% as mentioned in the OP. How much do you see for their GloSave plans?
  - UncleRico on 25/07/2023 - 16:50
    
    Must be unique to certain areas.
    
    GloSave is showing as 23% off reference. 28.38 & 30.80 p/kWh. Not sure how that compares with what I was quoted originally as Boost worked out better for me so I never recorded GloSave numbers
    
    Boost is now showing $1.023 per day + 27.06c and 29.15c compared to the rates I signed up for on 10th July at 91.3c per day + 24.86c and 28.05c p/kWh. That said, the FIT has also increased from .05c to .06c.
    
    Would have done both houses at the same time, but was waiting for account to be confirmed so I could sign up for the referral bonus. The genius of retrospect…

      I noticed same, ever since this deal was posted they have hiked prices a Little and now even more if you check it's jumped up big time. It good that they will honour locked in prices for some time but
      means if wanting to change plans within Globird it will all be expensive now. E.g if you are on saver and are using higher energy then Boost would be better in theory but not any more.
rave75 on 25/07/2023 - 16:45

if I join now, they will lock in price till end 2023 for sure?
- CyberMurning on 25/07/2023 - 16:46
  
  i think so but better call them to ask.
  and when joining dont forget the referral system
  - rave75 on 25/07/2023 - 16:48
    
    On their website, it says online chat available during business hours. But status is always offline. I am contemplating between this or OVO energy. I am not sure if OVO locks the price in.
- videoman on 26/07/2023 - 12:42
  
  It says "Join today - no price change in 2023" on the Globird homepage so I thought it would apply to all of their plans when signing up online? Can anyone confirm this?
davedave on 27/07/2023 - 09:21

+3

As someone who has referred quite a few Ozbargainers to Globird, I have been asked by quite a few people whether "Join today – no price change in 2023" really is dependable.

My answer is that I have no inside knowledge, but my experience with Globird is - yes they keep their promises.

They do frequently change the prices they offer to new customers, but that doesn't change what existing customers pay.

My thought is that they likely lock in a certain volume with upstream producers / sellers for a given period of time and then go out and market that volume. Once that allocation is used up, they then have to negotiate a new allocation and then market that.

So prices offered tomorrow to new customers might not be the same as the prices offered today to new customers, but once you have locked in a rate with Globird that should be honoured for the guaranteed period.

I hope this helps.
- CyberMurning on 27/07/2023 - 10:15
  
  same here.
  i remember when i joined long time ago, they told me 6 months guarantee without increase (on the phone but i want it recorded), and yes exactly 7 months later thats the first increase i got
- atlinus on 02/08/2023 - 13:06
  
  Most elec provider increased rates every year anyway most from july-1
ClaudeVL on 27/07/2023 - 13:11

It's been over two weeks and Globird is still trying to transfer from last provider. Does it really take this long to transfer from provider to provider? I thought the process would take only a couple of days.

What is the norm?
- IMadeYouReadThis on 27/07/2023 - 13:18
  
  pretty normal I would say, took me about 3 weeks too

- recycledrevenge on 01/08/2023 - 09:11
  
  Took about 12 business days for me switching from Powershop - I've found quite often providers wait until the 10 days cancellation period is over, they'll commence the transfer the day before. I'm under Endeavour Energy distributor in NSW with a smart meter

A side question, is it cheaper to heat up a house using gas or electricity? Thanks
- IMadeYouReadThis on 29/07/2023 - 10:25

  I have heard gas heaters are the best but they are very pricey to begin with. Expensive to buy but cheaper to run. They also don’t cause dryness which many people suffer with due to non gas heater.
  - OhNoUShiz on 29/07/2023 - 11:59
    
    I am using central ducted heating, basically running at every night at 20 degree for whole house, include hot water and stove.
    
    $188 28 days June to July
    $354 69 days April to June
    
    I wonder if i switch to full electricity would the bills be cheaper excluding the costs to convert.
    - Yola on 29/07/2023 - 15:49

        @Yola: Yeah. Of course. The lesser usage the cheaper the bill. So i reckon my gas usage is high then. Lol. Its only heats up when temp dropped below 20 and push it back up.

        There are many variables. How large is your house - how many heating vents? The $ amounts are not useful, need to compare usage as others rates are different. IMO you should not worry what others use is but concentrate on what you can save.

I joined earlier in the week but just got my rates and they are not what I was expecting. If I request a quote now I only see 10% off.

  As I think I commented elsewhere, in my experience Globird frequently changes what it offers new customers, but once you are locked into a rate they will honour that rate for the agreed time period.
  
  If what they are telling you that you are on now is not what you believe you signed up to, that is an issue, and you should contact their customer services. But if you joined earlier in the week then what they offer new customers today is not relevant to you.
  
  I hope this helps.
  - mightyboy on 11/08/2023 - 10:40
    
    It took a few days to get in touch with them, but they ended up honouring the rates.
    
    I had a screenshot from my sign up process showing the lower rates. I discussed it with a friend and came back to the same window about 90 minutes later to complete the process.
    
    When I got my confirmation email it has the worse rates.
    
    It seems the price changed midway through my slow process of joining and I somehow wasn’t informed or didn’t notice.
    
    Anyway, it’s all sorted now.
    
    They confirmed they got smashed by this offer and were varying their rates to less competitive rates in order to throttle sign ups.
- nwa on 05/08/2023 - 09:01
  
  Yes it went from 30% off to 25% then to 10%.

I switched over combo but only electricity has come through so far, no correspondence of gas apart from initial email. Update : I see an email about the gas metre number being correct or not I'll check it to make sure.
hasher22 on 14/08/2023 - 18:01

I signed up but unfortunately with current rates not this deal, but does anyone know if I can direct debit via bsb/acc? Online sign up only has card direct debit. But I did the $50 referral option, better than nothing

This was posted 1 year 4 months 14 days ago, and might be an out-dated deal.
