A quick review of Dodo Energy

Pros

  • Electricity plans for residents of NSW, VIC, SA, and QLD, as well as natural gas to VIC and parts of NSW.
  • Simple energy plans without complicated features or discounts.

Cons

  • While Dodo can provide all your home services (including Internet), it makes it harder to tell whether you're getting a good deal on each one individually.

What energy plans are offered by Dodo?

Electric

Electricity

Simple variable rate residential electricity plan with flexible payment options and no lock-in contract. There are no extra features or discounts associated with this particular plan.

Gas

Gas

Much like their electricity offerings, this is a basic variable rate natural gas plan with flexible payments. It may include a pay on time discount in certain states, but this can change.

Solar panel

Does Dodo Energy offer solar?

Dodo Energy does not offer solar installation services, but if you have a pre-existing solar system you'll receive solar feed-in tariffs depending on what state you live in.

Green energy

How green is Dodo Energy?

Dodo Energy scored a 4.4/10 on the Green Electricity Guide, putting it right in the middle of Australian energy retailers. It doesn't really offer carbon offsets, has an unclear stance on fossil fuels, but is at least transparent about its energy use.

Dodo does offer 10% to 100% GreenPower on its plans, and its solar feed-in tariffs are generally higher than the minimum for each state.

Mobile phone

Can I manage my plan from my phone?

No, there's no dedicated mobile platform for managing your Dodo plan. The most you can do is pay bills via the Dodo website.

      Hi Sara,

      Thanks for getting in touch! To choose a provider for energy depends on where you are located. As per Dodo, their operating hours are from 10am-7pm only. To find out other providers’ operating hours, you must first check the providers in your state on this page and once you have decided which one to go for, you can go their website’s contact page and you’ll be able to find their operating hours. Hope this helps!

      Best,
      Nikki

    I am with Dodo for wifi. I’m wondering if I was to change service providers for electricity and gas if there would be a bundle discount and would it be to my advantage to change?

      Hi Jess,

      Thanks for your question.

      Since this is a home bundle, you will need to get in touch with Dodo directly to ask for a quote.

      Dodo usually offers electricity and gas separately to it’s broadband.
