Renewable energy superstars saving the planet and your budget
Have you heard the news? Eco-friendly energy retailers Powershop and Diamond Energy have each picked up a super impressive five star rating in Greenpeace’s 2018 Green Energy Guide.
And these renewable energy options aren’t just good for the earth, they’re good for your hip pocket too. In fact, Powershop said that it recently shaved around $70 a year off Victorian customers bills thanks to securing cheap wind and solar power, showing that renewable energy can benefit your bottom line.
If you’re environmentally minded and want to choose a renewable energy option to show it, then check out some of our picks from the Mozo database.
Powershop - Auto Pay with Power Saver
- Also available in QLD, VIC
- 100% carbon neutral electricity at no extra cost
- 14% online saver discount off usage and supply charges when you pay via the online shop
If environmental awareness is the name of the game, then it’s hard to go past Powershop. Powershop takes a public stance against investing in fossil fuels, is involved in local energy projects and offers totally carbon neutral power. Plus, you can score discount when you pay online, and monitor your energy usage with the Powershop app to help you save.
Energy Locals - Simple Saver

Dodo Power & Gas - Residential Market
- Also available in NSW, SA, QLD

This plan comes with a whopping discount for paying on time, and you can choose to make weekly, fortnightly or monthly payments to suit your budget.
