Great company to deal with. Rates are competitive though we'd love a better deal on our buy back.
I've been a client of Powershop for nigh on 7 yrs now. After an atrocious experience with my previous provider who for two, quarterly billing cycles, did not apply Solar FIT credits to invoices, from my " then " newly installed & accredited 5 KWh solar system. ( over the whole Summer & Autumn seasons ). I was forced to engage the services of the " Victorian Energy Ombudsman Office " to ( fortunately ) receive a reduced/revised invoice & a significant re-imbursement of hard-earned that had already been paid to said provider. Indeed Powershop don't offer " honeymoon deals " per se, just to reel you in then surreptitiously jack up the price when it ends. Yes; it costs a little more per KWh but it's worth it, when Powershop email you a postie every 10 days advising you of your Solar FIT & subsequent power consumption pattern. Powershop also offers pre-purchase power packs that are really " worth their salt "! I much appreciate their emailed monthly invoice service, a first for me at the time & the clincher that convinced me they're worth switching too. It enables more effective household budgeting, & completely eliminates dreaded" Bill Shock ". Their service provision has been exemplary. That's why I've stayed with them this long & won't be shopping around any time soon.
I love that it is all controlled through an app and I am in control of it all. I like checking out when I am using the most electricity.
The app is great. It's fantastic being in control of my bills and being able to see exactly where my usage is going.
I canned to Powershop because of it's green credentials and I have been very satisfied with them in regards.
