    Shame you force people imto a phone call just to see fit rates. Pass just because of that

    • RockyRaccoon on 15/06/2024 - 07:50

      Not sure what your issue is I found these rates for my location on the website (which may not be the same for you - Ausgrid)

      Daily charge (¢/day)142.45

      Peak rate (¢/kWh)25.7400
      Off Peak rate (¢/kWh)25.7400
      Shoulder rate25.7400

      Solar Feed In Tariff (¢/kWh)# 7.00

      With the proviso that these are chnaging on July 1.

      You maybe doing something different in your sign up, or might be affected by your wholesale supplier. (eg Ausgrid, Endeavour etc)

      In my case having just signed up to Origin for the $200 its too early to switch again.

        I cannot get my solar rates without adding an address and I can't add an address without getting a pop-up that said let's chat and arrange a callback

        In fact if I try to enter my address that's the first thing that comes up after I click on my address.

        Yes i can see other rates. And if I can see the other rates why am I forced into a phone call just to add my address?

        Agaun its a pass

        • Trhrd on 15/06/2024 - 09:53

          It shows even higher for me. However, given the $200 (let's say min. $50, coz others may offer $150), it may worth to go through some hassle. e.g. @96c/day, 28c/kWh vs. @160c/day, 26c/kWh; (600kWh $197:$204) (700kWh $225:$230) (800kWh $253:$256) (1000kWh $309:$308) YMMV

        Are you on TOU? I'm sure Ausgrid set any change in plan must go on to TOU.
        That daily tho… that's 2kwh worth.

        looks like all of them are going to drop FIT 1/7

  • txb on 15/06/2024 - 08:29

    Why don't providers post their post-July 1 rates on their websites? They surely have this information weeks in advance. It's incredibly frustrating not being able to proactively forecast how long a credit will last.

    A $200 credit could last two months or two weeks, depending on the rate offered.

    I can't see the control load 1 rate. I can get a postcode estimate, but it only displays daily and general use rates, unless the daily rate includes both supply and CL1 charges.

    • asifpau on 15/06/2024 - 09:00

      change it your address search by selecting dropdown. you will be able to find rates than listed in each plan type.

      • txb on 15/06/2024 - 09:02

        I am in the same situation as @asifpau they require a phone call consultation for my rates to display, so I've just put the postcode option to get a generalised display of rates.

    • HitlersDad on 15/06/2024 - 09:00

      Agree almost seems like they avoid this.. just don't get locked in now with unknown rates coming up.

      Most providers will show the new rates notice while signing up 10 business days before the rates go live. So expect to be able to see it by the 17th of June

      lumo has fixed rates until sep 2025 with no exit fee.

    Thanks just churned from RACV Arcline after getting their bonus last month

    • Guzd on 27/06/2024 - 09:52

      What other providers have you done this with? I’m with AGL and plan to eventually settle on ovo with their free three hours window

        To be honest I've kind of lost track. I'm halfway waiting to churn for gas and can't even remember who I'm with and churning to for that!

        Electricity is much easier as the churn happens within a couple business days.

        I think I went from Ovo to AGL to RACV Arcline to Momentum for electricity.

        I'll most likely churn back to Ovo as they had pretty good rates and an ongoing referral bonus or something that gave me $10 off each month

  • Raynes on 15/06/2024 - 09:34

    $1.50 daily supply for me, pass

  • daMuzza on 15/06/2024 - 09:37
    +2

    The daily rate is high, but I've done the numbers and this works out a lot cheaper for me overall mostly because it has lower shoulder rates and I have high usage.
    I've been waiting to sign up for a while now, but until they advertise what their rates from July are, I'm not going to waste my time.

    Unrelated to momentum specifically but has anyone else had credit issues from swapping often?

  • Alzori on 15/06/2024 - 11:01

    While initially tempting, eh. It will be about $1/day more expensive than my current plan, and my current plan isn't available with my current retailer anymore so I wouldn't be able to swap back to cheaper rates.

    I had to contact them for rates (I emailed) and they said they didn't supply to my (NSW) address. This is likely why some others are getting this message.

  • Kustard King on 15/06/2024 - 14:18

    In QLD, the rates are ridiculous! Many providers are hiking the rate 1/7 so the token signup credit must be taken into consideration. AGL are doing $200 credit with a better rate if in QLD.

  • whey4000 on 15/06/2024 - 14:20

    How does churning work, if Im in the middle of a period with my current provider, do they send a bill for a partial period then the new company takes over

    • rickdwp on 15/06/2024 - 18:25

      In Vic yes, typically when you churn electricity with a smart meter you'll get a final bill upto the changeover date which is typically with 2 or 3 business days of signing up

      • whey4000 on 15/06/2024 - 20:09

        Ok cool thanks for confirming

  • screensaver on 15/06/2024 - 14:33

      AGL may exclude accounts from receiving more than one upfront credit per fuel in any 12-month period.

    Similar crazy daily supply charge for my ausgrid area, but currentl $200 agl credit will be used up this month. Might be worth the churn just to get $ to cover though some winter months before churning somewhere else more suitable.

  • Ebany on 16/06/2024 - 10:36

    Saw this a few days ago while reviewing rates after my last Origin bill. Daily charge is high but we use a fair amount of power so the p/kwh rate offsets this substantially. Had been holding off while reviewing but just made the swap using one of the random referral codes above.

  • limetree1 on 16/06/2024 - 10:44

    Is it normal that this company is asking for DD setup in the end? I prefer to pay the bill when it arrives.

    • Ebany on 16/06/2024 - 12:11

      Very common. Bill arrives and the money normally comes out a couple of weeks later on the bill's due date.

      • circle9nine on 17/06/2024 - 11:39

        You should call them and see what they say. If not, tell them you want to use your 10 day cooling off period which will cancel the transfer.

        Can you report back?

        • camMMM on 17/06/2024 - 15:03
          +2

          I called them and said I wanted to cancel if I dont meet the criteria of the welcome credit… she said she checked my account and I have been signed up to the welcome deal and will recieve the bonus on the first bill. I decided to stay with Momentum and hopefully the credit will be applied.

          • prhino on 18/06/2024 - 10:49

            @camMMM: Good luck. I wouldn't risk it myself, until I hear of others having the credit actually applied on a bill, given the rates aren't great.

    • huntress_love on 17/06/2024 - 14:37

      does it say how far back this goes? 1 year, 2 year, 10 years…?

      Is just say new contract, it's a new contract when you signup isn't it?

      Doesn't make it clear, if there is an time limit, as Alinta may is it very clear, they'll only pay the credit every 12 month, written on signup.

      • prhino on 17/06/2024 - 15:09

        If you've had electricity from them at your property previously, you can't get the bonus at your current property.

        Seems pretty clear.

              @prhino:

              "you can't get the bonus at your current property."

              Whilst their terms may seem/be pretty/super clear, companies rarely stick strictly to their own terms. You gotta have the mentality to try them, rather than assume the worst…

              • prhino on 24/06/2024 - 15:27

                @Increase1: Yeah, but if the rates suck then you just end up wasting money.

  • caperite on 18/06/2024 - 11:08

    Remedial question - when switching providers, is it OK to transfer based on estimated read or best to transfer based on actual read.

    Am switching now and not sure if it's worth requesting actual read, especially if there is an expense involved in that.

  • Dealhunter967671 on 20/06/2024 - 11:10

    FYI, just received this (NSW):

    “From 1 July 2024, your applicable solar feed-in tariff at the following address will decrease from 7 cents to 5 cents per kilowatt hour for all eligible solar you export.”

  • txb on 22/06/2024 - 18:47

    Would anyone already know if you can sign-up multiple addresses if they meet the criteria of new supply address but under the same name?

    Also caught this-
    In the t&c "The Welcome Credit is a one-off credit which will be applied to your first electricity bill (excluding a bill issued as a first and final bill)."

    So, the credit wont apply if you churn straight after your first bill. In essence, it applies to your first bill only when you stay on and receive a second bill (and onwards)

    • prhino on 24/06/2024 - 15:32

      $200 credit should last most people two bill.cycles, so not too much of an issue

  • Brick50 on 26/06/2024 - 18:31

    They mustn’t like people who churn electricity providers as I didn’t pass the credit check 😂

    • donki-quijote on 28/06/2024 - 11:04

      wow I didn't even realise that churning electricity providers will have impact on credit score
