Left Energy Australia over a decade ago, never did I think I'd read,
Rates are good compared to many providers
in relation to them.
I've been on Globird for ages, I just had a 15c per kwh price hike on peak. Suddenly everyone is cheaper than them. It might just be EA has decided it's a good time to win up a few customers. They make money on both ends anyway (supply and retail).
EA were also smacked down by the ACCC for pricing, they might be trying to win some good will back too - https://www.afr.com/companies/energy/energyaustralia-failed-…
Approved in up to 180 days
So stay with them for 6 months just to get $270??
Not worth it, rather swap every 45-60 days once promo credits are used up.
is there anyone better, i just renewed on the flexi plan as that seemed the cheapest for my area.
$225 Electricity Credit & $225 Gas Credit on AGL Value Saver Plan
For me their gas rate is better but electricity is worse. In saying that wot their promo it might still work out better
Thats a good promo I got the Westpac 100$ visa card and $200 for energy and gas. Have to stay with them for 90days as well I think to get the visa card.
Yeah I moved to agl last week to get the $200 promo. Will see who to churn after I’ve done the credit 😅
Me too woohoo churn club. I'll prob go back to Origin.
CoverU are cheaper for me and offer $50 sign up bonus on referral
Do you need to stay for 180 days?
Just because it pays in 180 days, doesn't necessarily mean you need to be with them when it does.
Cashback is issued by Cashrewards, not EnergyAustralia. It may take up to 14 days to track into your Cashrewards account, and may take up to 180 days to be confirmed by EnergyAustralia.
I'm betting EA will take their sweet time confirming the cash back.
T&Cs are king…
No chance I’m waiting 180 days
One thing I'd consider first, especially if you have solar, is their app sucks for keeping you up to date with spending / saving. It doesn't tell me until my bill comes how much I earned with solar tariffs. Compared to other companies that give me daily breakdowns, this is a big reason I am switching from them. For gas though, it's fine.
I was with energy Australia before and apart from the 2-3 day delay to the app for stats , the app does show the usage and feed in so not sure why you had the issue
It does show the usage, on a delay like you stated, however, doesn't give me a dollaridoo amount just the kWh fed in
Might be a setting, check out my app, it shows the kWh plus $
Sorry not sure if the link works let me know if it doesnt
Transferred the M in L to Energy Australia and got no response. Turns out something wrong with the email address we supplied. Have rung 3 times and email address the CSR has IS correct, but still no emails.
Problem is that all the CSR's spoken to are not local and its hard to understand them or they me.
While I joined and no issues.
So if things go wrong, good luck you are pretty much on your own. Dealing with them and cashback is going to complicate things
The offer we got was $200 credit off the bill. (expired Jun30)
M to L?
Mother in Law
Was thinking of changing it to my wife’s name if import back in, they wouldn’t know my wife so technically should be a new customer going into energy Australia
Not super good for me… $0.8637 per day supply charge, whereas Dodo Gas is only charging 25c per day (with similar usage rates — only difference being dodo is 0.4c more expensive per mj on Step 3 charges above 65mj a day). As a low gas user the Dodo plan is vastly better.
signed up in april and still not transferred
Gas? Can take months
Since April sounds crazy, I just ported from energy Australia to agl and only took 5 days? So I’m expecting it should be the same if I went back to energy Australia.
If you haven’t been ported after a week I would’ve called them up and find out what’s going on…
i called a few days ago and they told me to wait
Still sounds weird
what happens if you transfer and live in QLD and have that $1,000 credit from the government with the old provider?
I've asked this before to a provider and they said it moves with you. Definitely worth double checking just to be sure, but when I asked they told me the credit (federal and state) is linked to you and not the power company, so when you move providers the new provider accesses that credit and uses that instead.
Yes. It is our money. Not the energy company's.
Last financial year in Qld, as usual - churned retailers.
Each time, remaining Qld Rebate was paid out to payment method on the account (bank account). It is our money.
Just received $1000 Qld Rebate + $75 (1/4 of $300) Commonwealth Rebate as credit in Origin account.
Waiting on $200 for switching to Origin last week - which can't be transferred, just used to pay bill.
Will churn again when that $200 credit is used up💰
Powershop is better
You get $200 from Powershop and $171 from Shopback in approx 100 days
How did you get $200 from powershop, i dont see any option or mention
Actually shopback powershop link redirects me to econnex, which doesn't compare powershop
Put a filter in the results as Powershop or go to Energy Comaprison on Shopback
Just switched from Powershop for electricity. My 3rd time with them.
Very happy with their friendly & helpful customer service.
Churned to Origin last week for their $200 credit offer to sign up for electricity. Will churn back to Powershop again.
(Got $150 credit + $150 Woolies gift cards to switch to Powershop in Econnex Deal here. Gift Cards took 90 days to receive.)
Shame origin doesn’t have a deal like agl to churn to them this month
having to wait up to 180 days is the dealbreaker for me.
yeah surprised to see it take that long for cashback to come through
Slow Gas connection, readings, & likely 3 month billing cycle is the holdup to confirm transfer for cashback.
Electric only might be processed faster.
I was with them on a commercial property in Brisbane, last bill I opened was 40c kw/h, swapped to AGL at close to 30c….
I did this last time around back in March/April and regretting. Still waiting for cashback. Estimated is End of September. As soon as I get it, I will be out.
Have you received your first bill?
Yes got first bill for electricity but not for gas. On top of 270$ combined cashback I also got 100$ credit for electricity and another 100$ for gas. So overall not too bad.
EA looking good for rates , but anyone in QLD got tips on avoiding demand tariff?
I'm still on peak tariff only with solar , but alot of providers are trying to force me onto demand tariff. Their plans show peak demand and when I signup ie. Alinta, the email they send me includes demand tariff.
Understandbly energex is pushing this demand tariff onto retailers , but trying to hang onto the peak tariff as long as I can.
I was on dodo
Energex Distributor Zone Price (inc.GST) & Units
Supply Charge 82.66 cents/Day
General Usage 28.22 cents/kWh
5c solar
and they changing me to
Energex Distributor Zone Price (inc.GST) & Units
Supply Charge 140.14 cents/Day
General Usage 27.52 cents/kWh
3.5c solar
Almost tempted to stay as every company im trying to change to has demand tariff.
I'm with Energy Australia and I'm paying in vic
49c per kW usage
1.46 supply
5c solar
Could others please post their rates? I have no Idea if mine are bad or not.
Powershop vs Energy Australia Deal
Powershop (https://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/854187)
$1.06 supply per day
33.91/21.2c usage (27c averaged out)
$150 credit + $70 cashrewards cashback up to 90 days to approve
Energy Aus
$0.89 supply per day
22c usage
$155 cashback but up to 180 days for approval
Anyone have an inkling between the two?
I went with Powershop as they’re offering $200 credit on top of cashback.
I’ll switch again in October end.
With all these cashbacks and solar rebates, I’m on an 8 months streak of not paying a cent in electricity bills.
I signed up using a similar offer in April. After 3 months, no tracking done forget about payouts. Ill avoid cashrewards again. Do we have their rep handle this?
Who is considered a new sign up? I was with them over 12 months ago.
