Simply Energy review

Compared to most providers, Simply Energy has a greater variety of plans with discounts for automobile association members, seniors, movie lovers and more.

Its plans tend to be on the cheaper side compared to some of the bigger energy retailers, but this will largely depend on which state you're in.

Pros

  • Live chat support available
  • Mobile app for plan management on the go
  • 100% carbon neural plans at no extra cost

Cons

  • Some gas plans are only available when bundled with electricity

Is Simply Energy environmentally friendly?

Green Electricity Guide Rating: 2.59/10

Despite offering 100% carbon neutral energy plans, Simply Energy still receives a lower score from Greenpeace in its Green Electricity Guide.

The reason is Simply Energy is owned by Engie which is an international energy company that heavily uses gas fired power.

It also hasn't made a commitment to halting fossil fuel expansion.
