EnergyAustralia review

EnergyAustralia's prices aren't as competitive as they once used to be and you're likely going to be able to get a cheaper plan elsewhere.

However, it might still the right option for you if you feel more secure dealing with a larger brand and want a carbon-neutral energy plan.

Pros

  • App to help you manage your plan and access bills
  • Opt in to go 100% carbon neutral at no extra cost to you
  • Dedicated solar plans

Cons

  • More expensive than the reference price in some states
  • Credit card fees apply

Is EnergyAustralia environmentally friendly?

Green Electricity Guide Rating: 1.35/10

EnergyAustralia offers 100% carbon offsets to electricity customers who opt in after being with them for six months. Keep in mind though that one of its products is carbon neutral, not the organisation itself.

Customers can also add-on GreenPower in 10%, 20% or 100% increments to allow more renewable energy back in the grid.

On the flipside, EnergyAustralia has higher than average investments in coal power stations and has no clear opposition to fossil fuels or coal seam gas.
