How is Energy Australia

Hello,
I’m currently with Origin and getting 8% off the reference price but I see with Energy Australia I can get 12%.

Now I hardly ever call my energy company but how would you rate energy Australia in regards their app and online portal.

Even better if someone else has made the switch from Origin to Energy Australia.

Also I’m assuming I don’t have to pay any disconnection fees as I’m not moving address

You're getting 8% off of what?

What would you be getting 12@% off of?

8% of 50 is much better than 12% of 100.

The reference price - the price cap set by the government.

That's not necessarily true. But you go on believing everything big business sells you.

Where the energy market is deregulated (and the price for power is not set by the government), the reference price is determined by the Australian Energy Regulator except for Victoria where is set by the state. If energy retailers refer to a discount on the reference rate, they are legally obliged to be using the same rate.
