A quick review of Kogan Energy
Pros
- Basic electricity and gas services with no confusing promotions or offers.
Cons
- Having solar will raise your usage rates considerably.
What plans are offered by Kogan Energy?
Kogan has a single electricity plan for residents in NSW, VIC, QLD and SA. It also provides gas to VIC residents.
Electricity
This is a basic residential electricity plan available in multiple tariff structures: single variable rate, time of use or either of the above plus controlled load. This plan is only available month to month with no contract.
Gas
This is a single variable rate residential gas plan available to customers who live in Victoria. Like electricity, this is only available month to month.
Does Kogan Energy offer solar?
Kogan Energy doesn't support solar installation, but its plans do include solar tariffs as required by law. These are below average across the board and in most cases having solar power will raise your usage rates. If you have solar, it may be better to choose a different retailer.
How green is Kogan Energy?
Since Kogan Energy is such a recent addition to the energy market, it wasn't part of the 2018 Green Electricity Guide. However, it doesn't offer GreenPower on any of its plans, meaning customers can't guarantee that any part of their electricity comes from renewable sources.
Does Kogan Energy offer any special incentives to sign up?
No, Kogan Energy does not have any special discounts or incentives on offer for new customers who sign up to a plan.
Can I manage my plan from my phone?
Yes. You can pay your bills, manage your use and view your account history using the Kogan Energy app, available for iPhone and Android on both the Apple Store and Google Play.
Important notes: The estimated price we show by default is based on a single rate tariff. On your bill this might be known as a 'peak tariff', 'peak only' or an 'anytime tariff'. There are other tariff types available to customers and you may need to contact your provider if you are on these tariffs:
- Single rate with a controlled load
- Time of use
- Time of use with a controlled load
The price estimate should not be used as an official quote, but an indication of what your costs may be on the plan. It varies based on whether you provide us with your bill details. You can learn more here.
