With sustainable energy at the centre of their mission, Powershop launched in 2009 to supply sustainable electricity to residents and businesses across New South Wales, Victoria and south-east Queensland. Powershop also took home four 2019 Mozo Experts Choice Awards and are were crowned Australia's Most Recommended Retailer in the 2020 Mozo People's Choice Awards!
Powershop is a 100% online energy company owned by Meridian Energy - the largest renewable generator with wind farms and hydro assets across Australia. They’re Australia’s only energy retailer to be certified 100% carbon neutral, and they offset all of the emissions associated with their operations and customer energy usage. Unique to other providers, Powershop lets their customers prepay for their electricity using online tools and apps. This also allows consumers to pay for their electricity consumption when it suits them.
Powershop electricity is currently available to customers in New South Wales, Victoria and south-east Queensland.
Powershop provide a different way of paying for your electricity. They offer specialised ‘Powerpacks’, which let their customers take control of their electricity bills by showing them how much energy they are using and how much it is costing them. Powerpacks can be purchased online or through the Powershop mobile app to pay for previous, current or future electricity services. Powerpacks often carry discounts and special prices, which encourage users to save on their daily usage.
Or if you’re after a less hands on approach, there is always the option to set up a credit card or direct debit payment that will be billed monthly.

Organising power connections when you are switching or moving home is a simple process with Powershop’s online platform - all they need are a few simple details.
If you’re switching providers, Powershop will contact your old supplier for you to arrange the switch, and if your current provider charges a termination fee, Powershop will also cover you with for up to $75. This process will take around 3-4 weeks, and after sign up there is a 60 day change of mind guarantee. If Powershop is not for you, you are free to switch providers and any prepaid unused electricity will be refunded back to you.
If you’re moving homes you will need to contact Powershop 3-4 days before you relocate in order to organise your new electricity connection. They have a next business day connection for most areas and don’t charge any set up fees so you can move stress-free.

Powershop is a new energy provider and so far I am totally happy with my experience after switching to this provider. I have received a discount on my first bill already.
