    Does PowerShop add any additional promo?

    Also, can we schedule the transfer if we still have to serve a minimum time with current provider?

    I wouldn't mind changing back to Powershop from AGL but although I signed up late November my usage started 3 December and I have to stay 30 days to get the GC. When does the 30 days start and, as above, can we book a future date for the switch?

      I'm pretty sure it starts when your elec is connected by agl. Which means you might invalidate your $250 gc if you swap before Jan 2.

      Though I haven't personally tested out whether you can book a future date for the switch. Also might wanna double check into whether you would actually need to be a new powershop member (haven't had account within last 12 months?)

      From the terms and conditions

      This offer is available to new customers only. Existing customers of AGL, ActewAGL, ENGIE and EnergyAustralia are also eligible, provided they meet all other offer requirements. A ‘new customer’ is a customer who has not been with the same retailer in the past 12 months.

        I originally read this as new customer being one who has not been with Powershop in the past 12 months. But is it possible the T&C actually implies only current Powershop customers are ineligible (as they would otherwise be switching to the same retailer through this offer)?

        The FITs for my NSW Endeavour connection on Powershop's EV plans are 0.5c (yes, half a cent) - and something like $1.20 supply charge with 50c+/kw usage in peak.

        So decent if you're not planning on any of your excess solar to the grid (as you can charge your battery at 5c from midnight to 4am (assuming they don't track that it has to go to the EV specifically)

        @ peaceboy

        You most definitely are entitled to your SA govt "distributor feed in tariff" regardless of the provider.

        You are correct that there are 2 different answers…. people (eg peetabootawhatever) shouldn't give answers about stuff they don't know.

        I've changed various times and got the SA 44c govt FIT. I did have a battle with the buffoons at Engie (formerly simply energy) , who have no operational staff in australia, but I eventually got paid after opening an energy ombudsman's case. Engie's incompetence at various calculation tasks was spectactular…. but eventually I was satisfied. (If fawlty towers is a bit soft core for you, , and wish to have some more perplexing first hand experiences I do suggest you sign up with engie)

        Here is an excerpt of the most relevant of more than 20 emails with engie…. I can't include the hours of phone time. I haven't included the plethora of "offers" that they offered as alternatives which would have cheated me, before final resolution.

        Hi xxxxx

        That's great news!

        I'm delighted that Engie now realises that what I have said all along in those hours of phone conversations and email interactions is correct.

        I do hope that any further South Australians who receive the SA government distributor feed in tariff, and chose to switch to Engie as their electricity supplier don't have to go through the same nightmare…. and that Engie call centre staff don't have to go through it all again either!

        I look forward to an accurate bill in due course.

        Kind regards

        xxxx

        Dear xxxx

        Ombudsman Case Number: 25060612

        Thank you for your response dated 6 July and 8 July 2025.

        Regarding your concern, I’ve reviewed the amended bill and noted that the total feed-in credit currently reflects $0.055. However, based on the Distributor’s response (attached), the applicable rate should be 44c/kWh. Additionally, as outlined in the copy of your current plan (also attached), the feed-in structure includes $0.110000/kWh for the first 8 kWh per day and $0.040000/kWh for any remaining usage.

        I’ve now escalated this to the Billing team for further review to ensure the correct total credit is applied and an accurate bill is issued.

        Also seems that if anyone in your household uses a medical device for life support that requires elec/gas then you are persona non grata.
        In my case if you choose YES for that question then no plan is available, but change it to NO then the plans are shown.

        Would think it would fall into discrimination against people with a disability. Also it's really information that needs to be passed on to the elec/gas wholesale provider for their records, in this case Powerhouse being a retail provider only needs to do a one off piece of information collection and forward it on.

    Will both scenarios still qualify for the giftcard?

  • Cinema28 on 30/12/2025 - 17:21

    Fairly sure I know the answer but just want to check - last time I did this I signed up for a gas plan but it didn't swap over for 2 months. That was for a minimum 45 days deal. Does that mean I need to stay with the company for 45 days from when it connected 2 months later, or when I signed up?

    • 0
    • boretentsu on 30/12/2025 - 20:26

      I signed up for gas on the September offer and the request was confirmed immediately but the actual connection only occurred on 3 December but I still received the gift card for gas last week (being a customer for 3 weeks) so I'm free to churn my gas.

      Still, if I hadn't received it, I would have expected nothing if I churned before the 45 days was up (estimated mid Jan 26 by conditions of the deal)

    With the numbers they are getting through here I doubt they want the bad PR of not paying people because of fine print?

    Moved from Energy Australia - there are 3 things I def don't like about Powershop

    1 - They wouldn't let me use the password I wanted - apparently I use it as a password on OTHER ACCOUNTS!. HTF do they know this?? I certainly didn't allow Powershop access to my computer to check!

    2 - the rates are terrible - I try & use as much "shoulder" power as I can.
    Powershop - Time of Use Peak Mon - Sun: 6am - 10am and 4pm - 12am cents per kilowatt hour (kWh) 40.23
    Shoulder Mon - Sun: 10am - 4pm cents per kilowatt hour (kWh) 31.35
    Off Peak All other times cents per kilowatt hour (kWh) 22.99
    Daily Supply Charge - cents per day 147.44

    EA - Peak Usage: 61.6000 cents/kWh
    Other rates such as Off Peak / Dedicated Circuit usage: 33.0000 cents/kWh
    Shoulder usage: 18.1500 cents/kWh
    Daily supply charge: $1.3200 per day

    3 - I had to give them my CC details to sign up. No options for BPay etc. I gave them Debit card details I don't normally use & keep at $0 balance. But I still hate with a passion that any company has my CC details on file.

    I'll be switching suppliers as soon as I receive my gift card.

      Plenty of services offer this, like via haveiveenpowned APIs or similar, indentifying commonly reused passwords.
      Eg https://haveibeenpwned.com/Passwords

      Powershop isn't accessing your computer, and reusing passwords is an incredibly bad practice.

        Thanks for the FYI regarding the passwords website.
        It seems the multiple passwords I cycle through aren't as unique as I thought they were.
        Thanks again.

    God this is painful, I don't think I'll ever be using econnex again. Decided to give this one a try, they entered the wrong address when signing me up with Powershop, NMI was wrong and Powershop cancelled the application.

    I've been stuck inbetween econnex and Powershop support phone calls for well over an hour total now.

    What even is the point of a broker if they can't talk with each other to fix their own mistake? Ehhh

    Anyone received their gift cards from this deal?

    https://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/924135

    I assume they were sent on 24/12/2025?

    I manage a few properties (family) and it's starting to get confusing lol.

    Signed up on 30th/31st Dec, so has been over a month

    Can we churn to another company yet or best to stay until the gift card is issued?

      Considering it is over 1 month and first bill covering over 30 days already generated, I think it is safe to churn.

      I churned to origin through CBA offer yesterday.
