Diamond Energy (page 4 of 4)

I have been with Diamond Energy for a number of years since installing solar panels. They started extremely cheap but over the years their rates and daily charges continue to increase whereby now I'm paying 3 times more a month compared to two years ago. So enough is enough.
I have found someone that will save me $40 at least per month based on information I received from i-select and the supplier. In saying that we will wait for a month or so to see if this is 'fact'. That is, will await for the bill to confirm. Their systems however show tha...

Having solar panels and getting the credit is a good thing. After being with origin for years and seeing the fake discounts and price hikes I decided to jump ship and go with diamond. They are good, genuine and also mainly humans. In all this time I have had one problem which got sorted eventually. For all those people who have had issues and complaints please bare in mind these are humans and they do make mistakes, which can be resolved if you treat them like humans and not your slaves who bend over to your demand. Threating or mistreating them will only make things worse as the contract will be enforced even harder.

I've been with Diamond Energy in VIC since 2011 when I had PV installed. I received excellent advice from customer support when choosing a retailer and decided to change to Diamond Energy before the PV system was installed. A very smooth commissioning of system followed, taking less than a week from installation. Since then I've had 5 years up to the present with no technical or billing problems using direct debit/auto-deposit of FIT income from/to my bank. I have excellent access to data showing power usage from grid and power feed-in to gr...

We have been a customer with DE for 5 years, they were very helpful after we had a solar system installed and getting us signed up.
During the 5 years we have had problems with the supplier (SPAusnet) , Diamond Energy sorted these out (incorrect meter readings, estimated readings). These problems were not caused by DE, yet they still resolved them with the supplier. There are not too many companies in any field were you can ring and actually talk to a human, DE is one, their customer service is excellent and i have recommended them to many friends and family.

We signed up for 100% renewable with direct debit. Assumed we were paying quarterly as agreed. 5 months after cancellation because we moved, we get a final notice for entire amount... they hadn't done a single reading in 9 months and we had never received an invoice. No responses to emails and no explanation for constant errors on their part. Avoid this company!

I have solar. Over two and a half years the feed-in rate has dropped from 22c/kWh to 8c/kWh and the daily supply charge has gone up from 50.219 cents a day to 131.44 cents a day, that is an increase of over 150%. Now you must produce more than 16 kWh daily just to cover diamond energy's supply charge. Previously 3 kWh would cover the daily supply charge. How can they justify this?

My first mistake was having solar installed under a contract that stipulated that Diamond needed to be my provider. With many phones it took them over nine months and numerous phones calls from me to receive a nasty final notice of $1800 or they will cut my power. In the ensuing phone calls not once was I apologised to or did the company admit any fault.

Now to my current situation. We sold the property and the new owners took over the he contract. I rang the company to cancel the direct debit as I felt that the above mentioned amount shoul...

I applied to Diamond for a switch from AGL. They were honest, friendly and efficient. I am definitely not looking back!

Fantastic customer service, the best power rates and highest solar feed in tarriff. Great green power options too..
Forget powershop... Go diamond !

A green electricity retailer that takes customer service to the next level. No other retailer comes anywhere even close to providing the service that these guys bring to the industry.

I always recommend them to my family and friends.
A+

I love that I can buy 100% renewable energy from a company that ONLY sells 100% renewable energy. Not one of the big fossil fuel fuel companies that begrudgingly sell GreenPower just to keep you on their books while lobbying behind the scenes against the Renewable Energy Target and other carbon reducing policies. Diamond Energy are also very friendly on the phone, which I like.

Was looking for an electricity retailer with good green credentials and locally based (no international call centres please - I haven't got time to waste) and came across Diamond Energy - answered the phone straight away, fantastic service and nice people. I would recommend them to anyone.

I heard about Diamond Energy and decided to join up because they support renewable energy. I called up and to my surprise they answered the phone with only a couple of rings. I was expecting to wait in a queue for ages. They gave me good advice and I then signed up in a couple of minutes on their website. Easy - no hassles. I would recommend them to anyone. Their rates are good too.

I joined Diamond Energy (DE) at the end of June, I knew I was likely to relocate in the new 3 months so I checked I would not be charged any disconnection/termination/relocation fee beforehand and was assured this would not be the case. I ended up getting another cheaper environmentally friendly provider when I relocated. I received my DE bill on 30 September which includes $20 termination fee and $140 disconnection fee (Ausgrid), DE claims it's not responsible for and cannot do anything about the AUSGRID fee I would have thought DE could ...

Initially I was hopeful about this company as they had a personal touch to the service and seem to be keen to do the right thing.
Problems first started when I organised for a reprogramming of a new solar capable meter I'd just purchased when they switched me to solar but Diamond ended up throwing out my new meter and replaced with a dumb meter. (The reason I signed up as I told them was because they could avoid this happening and use my existing new meter)

THEN after that major stuff up I was billed for the dumb meter and then had to de...

I used Diamond Energy as a result of the feedback on this site, given they received 4 stars feedback. My experience is sadly not a happy one though folks. I moved to QLD about 4 months ago from NSW, and as part of the move signed up with Diamond. In the initial signup call, I was told as I had Solar Panels I would be entitled to a feed in tariff of 43c because of the property was on the old contract, instead of the 8c and it was locked in until something like 2020. I even have this in the contract I signed withy them. So I moved in the house, a...

When I had solar panels installed september 2012. I switched to Diamond Energy because they offered a better deal than Energy Australia. If I need to talk to them they answer the phone quickly and are very friendly & helpful.
This company is a dream to deal with after having major account problems with Energy Australia. I highly recommend Diamond Energy.
easy to contact, friendly staff
took a while to get my pensioner concession applied to my account

Very happy to say that they are at least as cheap as Origin who we switched from. Only power company I know of who support the Renewable Energy Target (RET) of 20% by 2020. Very happy happy with their and the bill seems easy to read too. Did take a while to switch over but that just meant my bill was delayed so who cares about that :-)
Renewable energy and supporting increased low carbon electricity.

Got put onto this company through the people we got solar panels from. they are solar specialists and only deal with homes with solar panels. Easy to deal with. very good customer service. we have not paid more than $285 dollars on electricity in the last 12 months. They give and extra rebate for the energy put back into the grid. highly recommended to all.

After having solar panels installed I started checking out solar and green energy deals. We were with AGL who were rubbish - very expensive and almost comically disinterested in connecting us to the grid so we could recieve the feed-in tariff. The guys who installed the solar system had recommended Diamond Energy who I had never heard of. I think they must be a very small company because they actually answer the phone directly instead of pushing buttons 1 and 2 and being passed from here to the Phillipines (like AGL). Anyhow we have just recieved our first bill in 3 months - $45!. We were rapt.
Small friendly company. Solar speciallists. They seem to be on your side instead of trying to bleed you dry.
