Now that you've read our review of Sumo energy, you can check out its plans once again before signing up. Alternatively, if you're unsure, you can compare other energy providers on Finder before commiting to a decision.


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.

    Hi my name is Michael. I was a sumo gas user. I cancelled my acc as i will be in Thailand for the next year. I have not received a final bill as I requested on the 21/1/19 approx. Now I am thinking the new tenants may be using the gas under my name. I need to contact some one from this company through my email address.

    Is the 27% discount for prompt payment applied to the bill total [including GST] or just the usage content?
