If you are an existing customer who is planning to move, you just need to call Momentum Energy to inform them about your new address. They will then organise your account to be disconnected from your current location and connected at your new property. They will however, need three business days to receive your final meter read before they can arrange for this move. So do make sure you give them enough advance notice.
If you plan to switch to Momentum Energy, you can either fill out an online form or call the energy consultants at Momentum to sign up for an electricity or gas plan. You can call the customer care team anytime between 8am and 6pm, from Monday to Friday.

Momentum is ok, I’m not super pleased with their environmental incentives however.

Great. Only complaint is that online accounts are poorly designed. If you have both gas and electricity you can’t see both on the home page you have to change between them. It’s not efficient.

They were very helpful with my transition. They also notify me if there is a disruption in our service which I appreciate a lot because I am using an oxygen tank.
