Dodo Energy offers decent prices on its electricity and gas plans in NSW and VIC. It's only signing up electricity customers in QLD but the rates aren't the best around. Market offers in SA for new customers are currently paused.
Dodo also won't lock you into a contract on any of its plans so you're able to switch providers whenever you want.

Green energy
Is Dodo Energy environmentally friendly?
Dodo Energy ranks relatively low on the Green Electricity Guide with a rating of 3.39/10.
The guide offers Australian consumers information to help them compare energy retailers' green practices and make environmentally-conscious decisions.
However, Dodo Energy does offer GreenPower add-ons if you want your electricity usage matched by Dodo with the purchase of renewable energy that's exported to the grid.
10% GreenPower: 99c/kWh
100% GreenPower: 9.90c/kWh
Keep in mind. Of the energy providers we've compared, Dodo Energy has one of the most expensive GreenPower rates. Other providers tend to charge up to 5c/kWh.

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

Finder is one of Australia's leading comparison websites. We are committed to our readers and stand by our editorial principles.
We try to take an open and transparent approach and provide a broad-based comparison service. However, you should be aware that while we are an independently owned service, our comparison service does not include all providers or all products available in the market.
Some product issuers may provide products or offer services through multiple brands, associated companies or different labeling arrangements. This can make it difficult for consumers to compare alternatives or identify the companies behind the products. However, we aim to provide information to enable consumers to understand these issues.
We make money by featuring products on our site.

Products marked as 'Top Pick', 'Promoted' or 'Advertisement' are prominently displayed either as a result of a commercial advertising arrangement or to highlight a particular product, provider or feature. Finder may receive remuneration from the Provider if you click on the related link, purchase or enquire about the product.

Where our site links to particular products or displays 'Go to site' buttons, we may receive a commission, referral fee or payment when you click on those buttons or apply for a product.
When products are grouped in a table or list, the order in which they are initially sorted may be influenced by a range of factors including price, fees and discounts; commercial partnerships; product features; and brand popularity.
