ActewAGL has been serving the Canberra region for over a century, with its start in 1915 with the construction of the Kingston Powerhouse to power the new national capital.

Dodo

While Dodo is widely known for their internet plans in Australia, they're now one of the prominent energy and electricity providers in the country. Dodo Energy is the division of the Dodo brand that is responsible for its energy services. This energy provider caters to domestic customers in Queensland, New South Wales, Victoria and South Australia, as well as natural gas in Victoria and parts of New South Wales.

EnergyAustralia

EnergyAustralia offers carbon-neutral plans, dedicated solar options, and innovative energy management tools. With Compare Energy, you can explore EnergyAustralia electricity and gas plans to see if they align with your needs.

Lumo Energy

Lumo Energy is owned by Snowy Hydro Ltd, one of Australia's largest and oldest renewable energy generators. It offers a range of electricity and gas plans across Victoria and South Australia, with 24/7 self-service support for customers. If you’re considering signing up for Lumo Energy plans, contact us at Compare Energy and we’ll help you find the right plan and get you connected. About Lumo Energy Lumo Energy operates in VIC and SA only. Despite this, Lumo keeps its prices affordable enough to be up to 23% less than the reference price. Customers across South Australia also have access to Lumo Rewards, which involves getting discounts and vouchers from a range of retailers just by being a customer. While Lumo Energy rates are encouragingly low, this does come at a price. Lumo Energy isn't the best choice for solar customers as its feed-in tariffs are lower than others and it doesn't offer great GreenPower options. Lumo Energy also doesn't share the same renewable credentials as its owner, Snowy Hydro.

Momentum Energy

Momentum Energy is a boutique energy provider operating in Victoria, New South Wales, Queensland, and South Australia.Despite being owned by a renewable energy generator, Momentum Energy sources its power from the National Electricity Market (NEM). The NEM is a mix of electricity generated from various sources, including fossil fuels. As a result, the electricity supplied by Momentum Energy is not necessarily from renewable sources.If you want to learn more about Momentum Energy's plans, give our Australia-based team a call on 1300 790 106.

Red Energy

Compare Red Energy plans Owned by Snowy Hydro, Red Energy has some of the most attractive sign-up incentives across the energy space. If you’re considering signing up for Red Energy plans, contact us at Compare Energy and we’ll help you find the right plan and get you connected.
