1st Energy electricity and gas plans and packages

1st Energy provides regular as well as solar energy plans to residential customers. These plans come with money-savvy options such as discounts for paying your bill on time. 

What’s more, your energy plan also has a lifetime benefit, which means you won’t lose your discount offer even after the contract ends. While the plans and tariffs are subject to change, one of the best features of 1st Energy is its price match guarantee. If you find a better price with another provider, you can ask them to match the offer.

1st Energy features to keep in mind

Price match guarantee

Ideal for the money-savvy customer, if you find a better deal for an equivalent tariff with a different energy retailer, 1st Energy guarantees to match the price. For existing customers, who cannot provide an equal or lower overall combined cost of energy, you can end your contract without any exit fee.  

Solar energy

1st Energy also offers solar plans for your home. If you’re looking for sustainable power solutions, just call the 1st Energy support team to discuss your options.  

Monthly billing

When you sign up for an energy account with 1st Energy, you’ll receive a bill every month. If you have a smart meter, this will be based on actual reads, whereas if you are on a quarterly read meter, you can nominate an amount during the sign-up process, or you can provide your own reads. The quarterly bill is then reconciled to ensure that you are only paying for what you have used.

Digital features

To access the latest energy invoices, account details, meter, and usage information online, simply register on ‘My Account’ from 1st Energy’s website.   

Multiple payment options

1st Energy offers numerous payment options, including direct debit, BPAY and Credit Card. If you don’t want to pay your bill using online or phone banking, you can also mail them a cheque.

Concessions and rebates

You can take advantage of a number of concessions and rebates available with 1st Energy. For example, there’s the Low Income Household Rebate, the Family Energy Rebate and the Medical Energy Rebate. You can read the terms and conditions on 1st Energy’s website to see if you’re eligible for any of the concessions.  

Hardship policy

If you’re finding it difficult to pay your energy bills, you can seek help with 1st Energy’s Hardship Policy. Under this policy, you could find alternative solutions such as flexible payment plans or assistance through Government grants. You can call the 1st Energy team from Monday to Friday between 9am and 5pm.

Refer a friend

If you refer a friend who switches their electricity and or gas to 1st energy, you both receive a $50 credit on your next bill. Make sure the friend mentions your name and customer number when they sign up to get this perk!

Switching and moving with 1st Energy

Switching to 1st Energy

If you want to switch to 1st Energy, the process is relatively straightforward. You can go online and sign up for an energy account or call 1st Energy to get your account transferred. The switch generally happens on your next scheduled read date, which can take anything from a few days to three months. In case you want to transfer immediately, call the retailer’s support team to discuss the option for a special meter read.

Moving with 1st Energy

If you’re an existing 1st Energy customer moving home in five or more business days’ time, you can arrange for your electricity connection to be moved by filling a form online. But if you’re moving in less than five days, you’ll need to call 1st Energy to ensure your new home has energy before you move.
