AGL increase their electricity and gas rates start from 3 Aug, anyone know any provider that give big discount?

Just got a letter from AGL, telling me that my electricity will be increase 9.3% and my gas will be increase 15.53% on 3 Aug 2011. Remember this is before carbon tax implement, imagine if carbon tax start it next year.

Lets kick out the labor and green party now before everything too late!!!!!

    Try using http://www.yourchoice.vic.gov.au/

    It shows you the rates of companies that supply electricity/gas in your area and how much you could save.

  • I have found Lumo energy to be the cheapest. They give you a 10% discount for paying your bill on time, plus guarantee to match any offer that other electricity companies have.

  • try switchwise

    but think yourself lucky, AGL told me they are upping NSW electricity by about 15% (no written confirmation yet)

  • switch to redenergy
    let me know if you want to switch as me & you will get a gift voucher.

  • I just switched to AGL and now I'm concerned… I haven't got the letter, which state are you in?

    • nsw

      • NSW rates went up because the government advised rates went up on 1st of July. Most retailers increased their rates on 1st of July in NSW. AGL delayed this until August.

      prev labor government selling 70 ha of land for $1 to white energy, why do you think that government would like to setup that website to save their people money?

      seriously, i am really sick with this labor government. they don't live in the real live, they live in lala land

        LOL Joan… spot on. They just screw everything up and fill their pockets and wander off leaving the mess for someone else to clean up.

        In a few years when the bogans have forgotten the lesson, labor promises welfare hand outs and they get back in.

        Just a nasty old circle that has hobbled the progress of this country. That's what you get when most of the population are welfareites.

      • they only have a few providers - eg dodo arent even included so its rather useless

  • just found 2 company that might save my life.
    my average electricity bills between 150-180/ quarter.
    red energy offer 5% discount for paying on time and sign off bonus $75 coles myer gift card - 24 months contract.
    origin energy offer 10% discount for 12 months contract

    red energy saving = 180 *4 = 720, 5% = 36 * 2 = 72 +75 = 147
    origin = 720 * 10% * 2= 142


    gas
    origin got new promo http://www.originenergy.com.au/tvoffer?p=K6fFPD&utm_campaign…
    7% off for gas and got 6 months free magazine subscription with 12 months contract.

    • But isn't the 10% for only the first 12 months and for the life you are with Origin.

      • it doesn't said the discount only for 12 months, but they want you stay with them minimum 12 months.

        • I am currently with Origin and was signed up for 7% off electricity and 7% off Gas for 12 months…But I called up to say that i was offered a better deal and they matched it with 10% off electricity and 10% off gas…This doesn't include maintenance cost though

        • thanks mate, i might choose origin for my gas, as i have sign dodo for my electricity

  • Compare gas and energy suppliers www.goswitch.com.au

  • just got phone call from agl today, asked me to stay with them, they will give me 15% off for my electricity as long as i joined 24 months plan with them

    • not worth it if you can get cheaper rates and a discount from elsewhere.
