Well, it was great while it lasted
I joined this mob about 8 months ago, everything was fine and the pricing was great. However, they've just notified me that my electricity will be jumping from 17.6c/kWh to 30.15c/kWh! They gave a lame excuse about wholesale price increases, yet at AER, I found that YTD for this financial year, these average to only 8c/kWh. So the recent blip in wholesale prices is being used by Mojo to justify such a horrendous price increase. Pure opportunism and I'm now looking to go elsewhere!

What appears to be the best prices, however inital metering was wrong in app and website (edited)
(Note that the data seems to have been corrected at month end, but no feedback yet receied on why/how it was wrong in the first place).
After literally months of agonising over making a move from AGL, they nudged me off the perch by drastically changing their solar plans and I decided to move to MOJO on the recommendation of a neighbour.
I've been connected about two weeks, and initially my account showed no useage for about 10 days.
I had to contact support to sort that out and I basically heard nothing but for one "apoloigise for being slow...

Very poor customer support
The rates are good for my area but the customer support is just terrible small things just take way to long and some of there policies are just so out of date form the modern world.

cancelled account when asking questions
I've rewritten the review to give them the benefit of the doubt, there was a mistake, it has been rectified post pointing the issue out to them. Will update when account progresses.
Thanks, Adam. Apologies for the confusion. We are looking forward to welcoming you to the Mojo family.

Unable to get in contact with them
Mojo don't seem to understand that people might be connecting with them at a new house for the first time, where the electricity is no longer connected. Their timeframes are crazy blown out, like they won't connect you for 13-16 business days after you've signed up? I put through an online enquiry and got an automated email saying they'd be in touch within 1 business day, and I'm yet to hear from anyone. In addition, their live chat function is broken, it worked a few days ago but now clicking it doesn't do anything, even during their operating...
Read more hours. I get that they're an internet company, but even as a millenial, I can say it's a damn side easier just getting on the phone and talking to someone. Logged into my account to cancel during the cooling off period and there's no option to do this either, so I have to fill out a hard copy form? Not likely they'll actually process it given how slow they've been to do anything else which actually involved me wanting to use their services.Hi Leah,

Mojo's Not Awful ... it's mediocre to adequate.
Hmm. I'm still dithering between 2 and 3 stars, because Mojo isn't bad, or awful, but it's also not reliable. You only get the basics.
If something stops working, it takes days or weeks to get someone's attention. and, 90% of the time, you never need to get in contact with your Energy Provider if it's working, and you're getting bills/notices on time.
While the App works, it's hard to pay your bills, or get invoices from the app, or the website/portal. Nearly everything is both ideal, and flawed about the service. It has a great website,...
Read more when it works, or has what you want to know. The Customer Service is prompt, but work doesn't happen for weeks, or months due to what is likely to be a massive backlog and not enough staff. But if you want something more difficult, it's a frustrating wait for help or support. As long as you're happy with mediocrity, Mojo is fine. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Monthly billing is great, prepayment is not so great, i.e. putting credit towards an upcoming bill, etc.Hi Michael,
Thank you for your feedback. We take your comments around your experience with Mojo very seriously. ...
Read more It's obvious that you’re quite aware about the energy sector. Your acknowledgment that not all meter boards in this country can accommodate a straight forward change over to a Smart Meter without some configuring and at times a complete upgrade of the board can be needed. Although frustrating the end result of having a smart meter installed allows for greater home energy management opportunities and not to mention the benefits of modernizing the meter board. As you would appreciate Mojo is an energy retailer and we’re not licensed installer of meters. The technicalities of the site conditions and requirements are the responsibility of the licensed installer. You also appear to have a sound understanding of the roles the National Energy operator and distributors play in the delivery chain. It’s with that in mind and that we’re currently designing our new products for release to the market including upgrades to our Mojo Power mobile App. We would like to arrange for one our senior customer service operators to contact you to discuss your experiences in more detail and with your obvious knowledge of the industry you will be able to provide valuable insight from an energy user perspective. We are disappointed that your experience has been what it is, and we would like to reach out to you and arrange a suitable time to look to learn and better our business and services from this. A member of our team will contact you and see if your willing to contribute to our survey and address your other concerns raised in your post. Regards, Daniel -The Team at MojoRelated Articles
Unremarkable pricing. Estimated bills every month.
The concept sounds great, however Mojo’s rates aren’t any better than the discount rates offered by the big retailers in my area. In fact, one retailer offers lower rates than Mojo if I also switch my natural gas account to them.
All retailers are much the same, and they’re all selling you the same electricity from the same network - so I can’t see any advantages in staying with Mojo. Sorry.
Every bill I have received from Mojo is an estimated bill. Why? I enquired on one occasion and told my meter was unable to be accessed. My electricity meter is easily accessible. I do not recall ever receiving an estimated bill from my previous provider.
Their day charge makes them more expensive
If you get a discount for paying on-time (which we have to anyways!) with another provider, Origin and Enova are cheaper than Mojo!
Clever marketing but they are more expensive than others and have terrible (terrible) customer support... I suppose it keeps their profits high by having no one you can call!

Puzzled by Mojo
Like others I was drawn to Mojo by the offer of wholesale rates. I also opted for the year in advance administration to reduce costs by a further $10 a month which should have brought costs well down below the previous supplier. The smart meter took many months to install because the meter box was too small, and I'm not sure even now that I have a true smart meter solution. It is difficult to see that my pensioner concession is also being applied. At present I'm waiting to see how the 25centsKw + is a wholesale price, and have sought explanation. My next bill should reflect the existence of the smart meter, so I await with interest. Online communications have been quick, but actions seem slow and difficult to understand.

Very disappointed
I wrote the very first review of this thread and at the time I had dealt with many power providers to get a deal after the NSW solar rebate scheme ending and Mojo were by far and away the most responsive and seemed to have the cheapest option, so signed up with Mojo in December, 2016. However, I have to say that our experience with Mojo since signing up has been less than satisfactory. Although a smart meter was installed in January which we thought was timely and no complaints, we have not been able to access the biggest benefit of the plan we...
Read more enrolled in with Mojo which is real time usage monitoring of our electricity usage. In other words we have a dumb smart meter, no ability to connect online and monitor and regulate our electricity usage to our advantage given we have solar panels. To add insult to injury, today we received notice from Mojo that the charges for our electricity will increase from April 12! Wow, this mob sure have some gall! My only concern now is that Mojo in an unregulated environment will continually increase their so-called wholesale rates every 6 months, or whenever the Stakeholders demand. Can't help but feel we were scammed by this mob. In the end the NSW State Government is to blame for the mess that we now have with NSW energy supply and cost.dont honour $25 credit for introducing coustomers dont reply to emails

Value for money but switch to smart Meter was delayed but compensated by rebate which was unexpected
Highly recommended for saving money so you can have a life instead of working your guts out just to keep you food and beer cold just to wake up each day to do it all over again

Still waiting and on the wrong tariff
Mojo have asked for a review after changing over to them. So far, my overall impression is of slow change-over; not including the cooling-off period.
My main reason for changing over was to gain access to a time of use (Smart) meter at a reasonable cost. Because of our location we have many electrical items running 24/7. I am very happy to say that the Smart Meter installation went ahead in very quick time. It was installed within three weeks of changing over to Mojo.
Whilst there have been some minor issues, they have been sorted ou...
Read moret promptly by the on-line staff. Unfortunately because of the on-line customer service it takes several emails to sort out simple queries that could be answered in a very short phone call. Perhaps during initial set-up and changeover they could consider phone contact until the smart meter is up and running and then revert to on-line only. Smart Meter has been in for over three two weeks now - still waiting for the data to populate into Mojo's dashboard. Because of our 24/7 power demands my change to Mojo was to access time of use tariffs and keep track of usage. Despite many requests it would appear that my tariff has been changed back to a single tariff with no consultation or explanation. The lack of contact or explanation as to what is happening is most frustrating. I now feel locked into a situation that is not delivering on its original promises.- 2 reviews

Worked out on par with my red energy bills.
I'm drawing a lot of power, and as such was getting good pay-on-time discounts and rates with red energy. With all costs factored in such as the annual pass, i come out on par. No difference. I was expecting cheaper.
