Available in New South Wales and Queensland, the ReAmped Handshake Energy Plan is currently available in Ausgrid and Energex, and rewards customers willing to stick with ReAmped for one year with lower rates. It's not a lock-in contract though; ReAmped takes customers on their word so if they do need to leave, there's no penalty.
Available in New South Wales and Queensland, ReAmped Energy also has no lock-in contracts or exit fees. You can pay by direct debit, there's no mail (it's all online billing and communication) and you have the option of paying weekly, fortnightly or monthly.
Yes, ReAmped customers can join the ReAmped Solar plan. This plan offers higher solar feed-in tariffs for the first 5kWh exported each day, and lower tariffs after that. It aims to encourage customers to use more of their power during the time their solar panels are active.
ReAmped Energy doesn't offer solar installation. If you don't already have a solar system, you'll have to arrange installation before getting tariffs from ReAmped.
ReAmped customers have the choice of purchasing between 25% and 100% certified renewable energy through the government's GreenPower program. This is available to all ReAmped customers, regardless of location.
There are a few perks that might make ReAmped Energy the right provider for you:
Yes. While ReAmped doesn't have an app, it is digital-only, meaning you can sign up online and get all invoices electronically. However, if you prefer paper bills, you can opt to receive them for an additional fee.
ReAmped doesn't have a call centre. Instead, support is available online during business hours through a live chat feature. If you prefer phone-based customer support, you can also call an automated teller to request a call back from a customer service member at a later time.
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:
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.
