Increased referral bonus for new customers of Energy Locals.

Give $50, Get $50 🎁

It's the giving season so we're doubling our refer a friend benefit to $50 until the end of January! If you let others know about us and they mention your name when they join – we’ll give both you and them $50 free energy 💡

Have been using these guys for a few months (very limited options in Hobart to compare to):

• Website is very useful and gives very granular data on energy usage
• Lower cost/kwH but monthly membership fees. Probably balances out for us, but would benefit large energy users more.
• They have won Finder's retail energy provider of the year for both 2020 and 2021

For an energy company, they have reasonable scores on Product Review (3.9/5)

  I use energy locals and have found them to be very good so far. As I understand it, you need to mention referers name in the "How did you hear about us?" section when signing up to get referral bonus.

    If that's the case then the mods might benefit from changing this to a 'private message' based referral program.

  I thought the membership fees get credited back to your account every 4 months?

    Where have you seen that?

    NickAcropolis on 23/12/2021 - 12:52

    I think that's a one off credit ie. after staying with them for 4 months you are credited back 4 months membership fees.

  Changed to these guys after Powershop sold out to Shell. So far so good.

  Reamped works out better for most.

  Switched to these guys last month, after being royally shafted by AGL, despite many years as a customer.

  Very happy with Energy Locals and recommending them to everyone I know (even without a referral bonus).

  Much better pricing and better feed-in-tariff than AGL (and ReAmped) for my premises, even with 100% carbon offset & 100% Green electricity.

  Great support too by true locals, that don't take forever to get on phone or reply to email.

  IMHO, this is the type of choice and service that competition in retail electricity sector should've been providing from the moment it was privatised.

  Just hoping now that customer service doesn't suffer if they get too popular (like some previously smaller, local ISPs I know) :-).

  For me these guys are about 10% extra on usage 22c v 19.8c p/kWh currently and for supply they only are about 5c per day cheaper so the $8.99 fee makes it even more expensive?
  I don't know how they can claim to be selling energy at cost and only making a profit in the monthly fees based on this?
  Maybe I'm missing something but based on my quote they aren't at all competitive although not the worst out there, but they do have a good reputation for customer service and ethical practices which I'm sure for some is a big factor unfortunately for me cost is essentially the biggest factor with can I get a problem resolved reasonably easily being the other everything else I'm not in a financial position to factor in & understanding how the wholesale electricity markets work I feel like claiming to be selling you carbon neutral electricity is at the very least misleading as I can almost guarantee that Australia doesn't have enough battery, wind, hydro capacity to cover everyone when the sun isn't shining so at best they are decieving ppl however I guess the more people who tick the 100% carbon neutral box & are willing to pay a premium for it the stronger the signals to the market to improve and maybe one day offer a 100% carbon neutral product that doesn't require creative accounting and offsets. The Power in the grid can't be split out into carbon/non-carbon electrons and even if you pay extra for the % that is produced via wind/solar/hydro if the carbon power wasn't in the grid keeping it stable it wouldn't get to you anyway. I think electricity companies should be saying they'll purchase increased renewable capacity rather than simply saying they'll just purchase production that's already there (if the true aim is to reduce environmental damage and it's not just marketing that is)
  Just my 3c worth anyway.
