living at the property during those 9 days and the main electricity switch was turned off.
I contacted OVO Energy to ask why I was being charged this amount. Unfortunately, they could not properly explain the bill. The only response I kept getting was that it was based on an “actual meter reading.”
If the meter reading is genuinely correct, I would like OVO to clearly explain how this amount of electricity was used when the property was empty and the main switch was turned off.
I expected OVO Energy to investigate the situation properly rather than simply repeating that the reading was an actual meter reading. Very frustrating customer service and billing experience.

to a time-of-use Sumo electricity plan after checking various providers on the Energy Made Easy government website. On my first bill, I noticed the periods of the day when they charge peak, shoulder, and off-peak rates are different from the charge windows advertised on their site (which redirects you to the Energy Made Easy website, which is the Australia-wide official listing of all the energy plans of all the energy providers at any point in time).
I contacted them by email (you have to wait, literally, hours to talk to them over the phone), pointing out the discrepancy and requesting them to recalculate the bill. After a whole week, they replied that "that is the price structure" and that they cannot recalculate the bill and change the usage charge windows in future bills to align with what is advertised on their website.
I'm contacting the energy ombudsman in my state and even consider pursuing a class action against them, as they must be using the same business practice with several unaware customers.

consumers migrated to extremely bad time of use plans that group suburbs, as one time of use rate to the detriment of the frugal users being stung by the greedy monied users e.g. EV chargers sucking the grid....etc etc. However Jeremy Matubis (My Energy Locals consultant) listened to my rant, agreed with me, and assured me that my single rate plan has two years moratorium - ie no change for two years and that I can disconnect remote access. Bravo Jeremy, you made an old crotechty man happy. Two years gives me time to work out any possible upgrades (or downgrades) and navigate power systems better. Very Happy. Thankyou Jeremy Matubis of Energy Locals. Good customer support. Andrew Tucker

more than paid for the annual fees I have paid over the years. I cannot recommend this service highly enough, and in this day and age, it has proven to be an enormous cost-saving service to help with cost of living challenges we all face. Full disclosure: I am not here as a paid advocate for the company, my review being 100% fully voluntary. But for those interested, there is an incentive offered which entitles you to receive some sort of initial discount if you use the code - [Content Removed] -. Well worth it, regardless of this offer.

⭐ 1 star — I would give minus five if I could. Terrible customer service and an extremely frustrating experience from start to finish. My problems… Read more
began when I converted my residential property to solar. EnergyAustralia continued receiving the electricity I exported to the grid, but I was not being properly credited for it. Yes, the feed-in tariff is only around 3 cents per kWh, while at the same time I was being charged approximately 40 cents per kWh for electricity I used.
To make matters worse, my account had apparently been changed from residential to business. Instead of paying the residential daily supply charge of approximately $1.66 per day, I was being charged around $3 per day.
When this was eventually investigated, I received a refund of approximately $75 for the solar electricity that had not been credited. However, that did not properly address the additional daily charges I had been paying because the account was incorrectly left as a business account.
You would think fixing their own error would then be straightforward.
It wasn’t.
Instead of simply changing my property back to residential, I was required to go through another lengthy process to prove that my home was actually a residential property — even though it had previously been held by EnergyAustralia as residential before they changed it.
At one point I was even required to establish another business account, at the higher daily charge, so they could apparently then transfer it back to residential.
This became an absolute circus.
I then had to obtain documentation from my local council to prove the residential status of the property. Once I finally had everything together, I explained the financial impact this ongoing error was having and asked for the matter to be resolved urgently.
I was told it should be sorted within about 10 days, including the cooling-off period.
More than a month later — still nothing.
What makes the experience even more disappointing is that I had respectfully told EnergyAustralia that this was one of the worst customer service experiences I had encountered in some time. I also explained that I wanted the account corrected as quickly as possible so I could move to another provider.
Yet the delays have continued.
The most frustrating part is that I have been paying additional costs because of an error that was not mine in the first place, and resolving that error has required repeated phone calls, documentation, explanations and considerable time on my part.
I understand mistakes happen in business. What matters is how a company responds when something goes wrong.
In my experience, EnergyAustralia has made what should have been a relatively simple correction unnecessarily difficult, slow and expensive.
I am extremely disappointed with the service I have received.
Based on my experience, I cannot recommend EnergyAustralia.
If minus five stars were available, that would be my rating.

service team was extremely knowledgeable on energy efficient homes and were very quick to respond to our questions as to what kit to buy. The kits were in pristine condition when they arrived and were an absolute breeze to fit using the online instructional videos. We barely had to use our heater at all after fitting them, we were able to turn our heat off before lunch an not turn it in again until the following morning. The price we paid for ecoMaster products was quickly made back from our reduced energy bill. Thanks ecoMaster for keeping us warm and saving us money. 6/5 rating, would highly recommend all of ecoMaster Products to anyone will fat power Bills

At the time, I thought I was getting a great deal for six months. However, an unexpected rental fee was later added that I was not made aware of when I accepted the offer.
I contacted customer service by phone and email to explain the situation, but unfortunately, the response I received was short, abrupt and dismissive. Rather than listening to my concerns or trying to resolve the issue, I was repeatedly told that I hadn’t signed up the way I explained.
My advice would be to carefully check for any rental fees, additional charges or add-ons before accepting an offer, and make sure everything is clearly explained upfront.
Unfortunately, my experience with customer service was extremely disappointing. I felt that the focus was more on being right than on actually listening to and helping the customer.

over a year. In May this year, I applied for electricity AND gas with engie. Electricity couldn't be connected, so I asked them to cancel my application. Couple of weeks later, they informed me that they connected the gas, without electricity!
At the time I contacted them and after a month of painful "communications" with engie, they said they cancelled my account. Nevertheless, they continued to send gas bills despite the fact that no gas was used whatsoever! Even worse, they DOUBLE CHARGED me for some of period !
So: - they have no knowledge of how it works in Australia. No house can function with gas WITHOUT electricity! - Very poor and misleading "communications" ! - They DOUBLE CHARGED me ! - They seem to think that every house in Australia that has gas, whether occupied or vacant, must pay for gas. TBut, tat same property was vacant for over a year and I paid not even 1 cent for gas.
I contacted them few days ago, they just responded with a useless email then stopped responding!
Over the years I dealt with so many other power providers and none of them did any of that. engie did it all in a couple of months !!!
I am going to put in a complaint against them with the energy and water ombudsman for their irregular behaviour and violating my consumer rights.
Stay away from engie... Australians deserve better than engie...

a-box was the cheapest. Their tariffs were great. Then after a few months in they raised the prices to ridiculous amounts. We got no communication of the sort and had to move away.
Don't have much to say about support other than it was a pain setting up the portal access and in one back and forth interaction, they referred to me as someone else along with their email. Don't know how they keep customer records but it doesn't seem the least bit secure.

Service:
Let’s just saw what is that? You call the number no answer. Phone service suggests you leave a voicemail and you will get a return call but the service doesn’t allow you to leave a message. You try the web chat and nobody engages with your request. If you do speak to a person they are working from home so a bad line with babies crying in the background and yelling occupants. If you email them, don’t expect a response for a few weeks if anything and then don’t expect your email to be fully answered. Staff are not aware of government assistance packages and don’t make applications on your behalf with no follow up.
COST:
I have a low power consumption eco dwelling with solar and my power bills increased immediately.
They offer you a free monitoring device which if you need support setting up then forget about it but they are expensive, noticeably!
Stay away from them…! I moved in under two months.

Efficient, to the point, rapid delivery, friendly staff, reasonable prices, no annual service fee – Moved into a new rental and there were gas bottles leftover from another supplier: Elgas. I did a bit of research and discovered that Elgas charges… Read more
an annual fee for each bottle out on site. I was not happy with this proposition. This is effectively the same as a connection fee on a gas pipe to a property. It is not like you have to fork out an annual service fee on a "swap n go" bbq bottle, so I considered the annual fee unreasonable and started looking around for a gas supplier with a different approach and found Choice gas. What a find!
I was slightly out of their delivery area but was told "no problem". SMS'd my name, address, two 45kg bottle requirement and delivery date and on the morning of the delivery got a call to process the payment on Visa and a few hours later bottles installed!
They even took away the old, aged Elgas bottles to return to their depot for collection by Elgas. The two choice gas bottles are in good condition and have an anti-clank net around them.
Always great to find a small business eating into the territory of larger players, providing a product that people actually want, at a good price with no hidden gouges and with good customer service.
Thank you to both Nathans. Every success!
Blue NRG
Insanely expensive increases in power prices. Utterly ridiculous. Compare your pricing with other suppliers as soon as you can to get off of Blue… Read more
NRG's network. They were charging me (flat rate) just over 75c kWh and I switched to Momentum Energy for 39c kWh flat rate. There is a slightly higher daily supply charge with Momentum Energy but even with this slight supply charge increase I'm saving a HEAP of money.
The way this business is being run also seems dubious. In the past Blue NRG was required to pay over $400,000 in penalties for allegedly breaching Victorian energy rules related to guaranteed service level payments between July 2021 and June 2022.
Prior to that Blue NRG paid a penalty of over $1,500,000 after allegedly failing to surrender enough certificates to offset their liability for the 2020 compliance year under the largest energy efficiency program in the country.
Seriously avoid Blue NRG!
Edit 16 May 2026 - I'm now consistently saving just over $2,000 a quarter by getting rid of Blue NRG and switching to Momentum Energy.
Compare, switch and save all in one place
