How we picked theseNo matter which provider you go with in the NT, you'll be getting about equal products. Power prices are strictly regulated in the territory, so there's no reason to review power rates – they're identical to all other energy retailers.
If having a greener energy company is important to you, Jacana does have the best ranking in the state according to the 2022 Green Electricity Guide. Jacana was rated slightly higher (5.99/10) than its competitor Rimfire Energy (5.59/10).
While its customer support is Darwin-based, Jacana doesn't have 24/7 live chat support like Rimfire, and its solar feed-in tariffs are slightly lower.
Jacana Energy is a government-owned company and only available in the NT. It's the territory's largest energy provider, supplying more than 85,000 customers with electricity.
We've put together a price estimate to help you determine how much you might pay with Jacana Energy (including an annual bill estimate).
Keep in mind: Electricity prices are regulated in the NT, so you'll pay the same for power regardless of your provider.

Green Electricity Guide rating: 5.99/10
Jacana Energy came in the top half of Australian energy providers by rating. It scored well by not being involved in fossil fuel extraction and for supporting rooftop solar.
Where it lost points was by providing carbon-intensive, polluting energy from the grid and failing to invest in renewable energy generation.
Jacana is not GreenPower certified, so you can't pay extra for your power to support renewable generation in Australia.
