Dodo NSW Power & Gas Discounts: Electricity 30% (up from 20%) and Gas 25% (up from 20%)

90

Title is pretty self-explanatory. Last I checked, the electricity rate on a single rate meter is 34.309 cents including GST., which ends up being 24.016 cents after the 30% discount.

I edited the last part since people believed that 34 cents was the rate after the discount. My bad, still new at this.

  • Crazy peak and shoulder rate compare to my current rate with Powershop.

  • Interesting my flat rate is lower than them by about 10%

  • +1

    Good for existing customers?

    • +1

      Yes it is!

      • Hiya Hamza, have you diversified from Domino's Pizza?

        • I'm not sure I understood your question :D

      • Have to call them up?

    • not at 34c, thats 10% above everyone else.

      They snuck it in quietly, my brother got caught out

      • Sorry, I was not clear enough. 34c was the rate before the discount. After the discount it turns out to be 24. I added it in the description.

        • I saw that,

          Origin is 22.5 or so after 25% off, though some got the 28% off.

          The new entrant Alinta(NSW) is interesting, seems like they're going to make Origin stay competitive

  • Every time I've compared they've generally come up ahead in Sydney or close enough not to bother switching. Is there a better recommendation for time of use billing (peak/shoulder/off peak) in NSW?

  • Hi Op. I've noticed that you've ticked the "I am Associated with the Store or Product", is this by accident or intentional?

    • Oh I did not see that, must have ticked it by accident. How can I change that?

      • I've fixed it now.

        • Thanks! I'll make sure to not tick it next time.

  • id hate to imagine Dodo, after using their internet service for one month it had the worst reliability ever.
    id hate to have the power be cut between 3-10PM because of peak usage.

    • +1

      It's not like they were hiding anything. Didn't you see their TV ads?
      Dodo, dodo, internet that dies! (Dodos are extinct)

      Been with dodo electricity for over 5 years. Can’t rememeber ever having power go down.
      They are just a retailer sending you the bill. Nothing to do with infrastructure.

        Do you ever stop promoting how to vote. Its a bargain site give it a break please.

      I've been with Dodo electricty and internet for over 3 years - the only internet outages were related to the poor quality copper lines in my area - so I lodged a complaint with Dodo and Telstra techs came out to investigate then fix the issue once they found where the fault was.

      If internet is bad in your area, most likely it is poor cabling - either in the street or in your house.

    We should ban electricity deals without prices for being meaningless spam.

  • Seems very expensive to me in NSW

    Plan: E2CER-MAT1CL1 Units Rate (Inc GST)
    Daily Charge cents / Day 185.350
    Usage Anytime (the first 19.23 kWh per day) cents / kWh 36.322
    Usage Anytime (the balance of kWh per day) cents / kWh 36.322
    Usage - Off Peak, All other times cents / kWh 17.875

    • Likewise with time of use, its about 10% higher than the Ausgrid rates by AGL/Origin, so it means roughly only a 20% discount (I cant be bothered in working out the exact true %)

  • Good for existing customers?

    Yes. You can ring and get the higher discount applied to your account. That is what I did.

    id hate to imagine Dodo, after using their internet service for one month it had the worst reliability ever.

    I haven't had issue with Dodo electricity, I even switched away from them and switched back to them over the years. No issues.

    Having said all that, always compare rates as Dodo may not be cheapest depending on individual circumstances.

  • I wonder how it stacks up against amaysims targeted deal

    In New South Wales:
    40% pay on time discount off amaysim's standing Electricity usage and supply charges^
    Solar customers get 17cts feed in tariff plus 28% pay on time discount^
    15% pay on time discount off amaysim's Gas standing electricity usage and supply charges^

    • holy crap they have bad rates… we're starting to get into Victoria dodgyness

      43.67 cents per kWh with GST

  • The electricity and daily supply charge rates are much higher than the ones that I checked months ago. It will end up with $50 more(per quarter) for me.

    This is a dodgy way to increase price but it's a good way to do marketing. Did they just hire a pricing/marketing manager from Click Energy?

  • thx for comments re amaysim. turn out ok for me
    seems like everyday there are new providers and deals

  • I made up a little spreadsheet when deciding to switch from Dodo. Just plugged-in the new offer of 30% discount, and it is still more expensive than the Energy Australia plan I moved onto.

    Bonus with the Energy Australia plan is 2 years fixed usage rate.

    They certainly could be a-holes, and ramp up the daily supply charge, but I doubt that would fly for very long.

      Care to share this spreadsheet?

  • Anyone can share their experience regarding rates offered by the AGL retention team in NSW? AGL website offers only 23% electricity and 19% gas . Thanks.

    • try Energy Australia - better.

    • -1

      Move from AGL, AGL NSW generally have been the worse of the big companies for a long time.

      They made some bad investments 5? years back and have been paying(you have) it back since

    • Successfully negotiated 27% off gas usage with energy Australia, also on 30% off elect usage. Needed to talk to their exit team to get the offer, so not sure about new customers, but give it a crack!

      • Nice, did you ring them up and tell them you wanted to leave or something?

        • I rang as usual and said "competitor is offering 25%, I'm on 19%, I want 25% and the OS callcenter operator said some rubbish about offering me 15 or 17%, which I had a somewhat nasty response to… then I said "So you're telling me if I decide to leave EA today and go with Dodo, 17% is the best anybody can offer me?" - at which point I was put through to the Aus callcenter and Kelly was nice enough to offer 27% straight up.

          tldr: Yes say you'll leave, and want to speak to the Australian-based exit team.

  • I 'm on flexi saver with 32% electricity and 25% for gas with energy australia
