Victorian residents will pay around 20% less than the Victorian Default Market Offer (the government's 'fair price' for electricity), which is on the cheaper side for electricity. This is better than many providers.
Although QEnergy does also operate in NSW, SA, and SE QLD, it's not currently accepting new customers outside of Victoria. If you're an existing customer in any of these states, though, you can take advantage of the latest deals by ringing up QEnergy.
A major drawback is that QEnergy doesn't offer anything in the way of plan management. You'll either have to contact the company directly or download and fill out some difficult to locate forms to change your account information.
Also, QEnergy doesn't offer gas plans so you won't be able to bundle your energy.
Here are some positives about signing up with QEnergy:
There are no lock-in contracts for residential customers with QEnergy, so you can switch to another provider any time without consequence.
QEnergy sells residential electricity plans to customers in NSW, SA, QLD, and VIC.
QEnergy offers a solar feed-in tariff on all its residential plans, although it does not have dedicated solar plans.
You'll need to already have a working solar system since QEnergy does not assist with the installation process.
QEnergy's feed-in tariffs are equal to or slightly above average in SA, QLD, and NSW. However, it only pays the state minimum for exported power in Victoria, which places it behind several other providers in that state.
Here's what QEnergy is paying in each state:
QEnergy is qualified to deliver GreenPower, where you pay an extra fee on your electricity to support renewables in Australia. However, it doesn't offer any residential GreenPower options at the moment.
QEnergy didn't have enough data available to be included in the 2022 Green Electricity Guide, so there isn't much information about QEnergy's environmental impact.
According to results from the 2020-2021 Annual Retail Markets Report 2020-2021, QEnergy's phone line offered decent service. It had a relatively short waiting time, though more calls were dropped before being answered than the average.
| QEnergy | Market Average | Major provider average | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Average call wait time | 35 seconds | 58 seconds | 115 seconds |
| Calls abandoned before being answered | 11% | 7% | 7% |
| Complaints (% of total customers) | 2% | 3% | 1.5% |
