Click Energy Review and Rates

CLICK ENERGY IS NO LONGER PUBLICLY AVAILABLE.

Click Energy customers should now be with AGL. Details below should be treated as historical information only.

Click Energy holds itself out as an ‘online’ electricity retailer, claiming that its reduced overheads translate to lower costs for customers. Click Energy sells electricity across Queensland, New South Wales, Victoria and South Australia, while also retailing natural gas in some areas.

Click Energy says its mission is to make electricity as simple as possible. It doesn’t lock customers into contracts and tends to offer numerous sign-up incentives from time to time, including free gift cards, for example. Click Energy previously had a reputation for offering large conditional discounts – including paying on time – but following the introduction of tough, new industry regulations in July 2019, the retailer has switched to a more basic approach, with no headline-grabbing discounts of note.

In this review, we take you through everything you need to know about Click Energy, including pricing information, to help you make an informed decision about your energy supply.

Click Energy Products

While Click Energy’s electricity deals could vary across the states, its product range will usually include a number of options for households with solar systems. The usage and supply rates may vary between its products, with solar customers generally paying more for usage in exchange for a higher feed-in tariff. However, be sure to compare the base rates of numerous products to ensure you’re really getting a good deal. You may even find higher feed-in tariff rates in some states. If you don’t have solar but still want to reduce your carbon footprint, Click Energy may also offer a GreenPower accredited plan in your area.

Myrtle

Myrtle is Click Energy’s Queensland plan, coming with flexible monthly billing and no conditional discount. This is a variable rate plan with no lock in contract or exit fees.

Ivy

Victorians looking to sign up to Click Energy will be presented with a similar option to what Queenslanders are, just with a different name. Ivy is a plan that’s a decent amount less than the VDO, that comes with monthly e-billing without a lock-in contract.

Flora

The Flora plan is delivering notable savings when compared to the default price in NSW. It’s a variable rate energy plan with no lock in contract or exit fees. Customers on Flora will receive bills monthly through email.

Jarrah

In SA the Jarrah product has replaced the Flora plans. Jarrah has variable rates and like the other plans, has a monthly billing cycle and no exit fees.

Victorian Default Offer

This is a bare-basic plan with no contract terms or exit fees. Customers who were on standing offers pre-July 1, 2019 should have been moved over to the Victorian Default Offer.

Retired Click Energy Products

If you’re confused that your specific Click Energy plan isn’t listed above, that’s probably because it’s no longer publicly available, and the fact that this retailer has a habit of changing energy plans across each state. Previous Click Energy plans not currently available include:

  • Click Holly
  • Click Lily & Lily Plus
  • Click Banskia
  • Click Agate
  • Click Pearl
  • Click Ruby
  • Click Easy
  • Click Gold
  • Click Elite
  • Click Jade
  • Click Topaz
  • Click Opal
  • Click Sapphire
  • Click Emerald
  • Click Superior
  • Click Platinum
  • Shine Essential
  • Shine Extra
  • Shine Budget
  • Shine Reward

Click Energy tends to make just one residential market offer publicly available at any one time, in addition to a couple of specific solar products. If you’re on one of the plans listed above that’s not generally available any more, it might be worth giving Click Energy a call to make sure you’re still getting a good deal.

Solar Power with Click Energy

As you can see from the pricing tables above, Click Energy offers two or three solar products in each state that it serves. Some retailers don’t offer any solar-specific deals, but Click Energy gives solar customers plenty to think about. With Click Energy, it’s all about weighing up the pros and cons of high or low usage rates versus feed-in tariffs to determine which of the retailer’s solar products will work best for you. If your home exports lots of power, the plan with the higher feed-in tariff may prove more beneficial than the larger discount. If you don’t export much power, then the extra discount may leave you better off in the end.

Click Energy provides some of the highest feed-in tariffs in most areas, but be sure to check the base price of power before making any big decisions. Like with discounts, sometimes an appealing feed-in tariff can mask high usage or supply rates.

Click Energy Solar Feed-in Tariffs

Here are the feed-in tariffs that Click Energy offers on its plans:

  • NSW: 11-16c/kWh
  • QLD: 8-12 c/kWh
  • VIC: 10.2c/kWh
  • SA: 14-17c/kWh

Click Energy Natural Gas

Click Energy says it has been a disruptor in the electricity market for over a decade, so naturally the next step was to expand into gas. Click Energy introduced its natural gas service to Victoria in 2015 and quickly expanded further to NSW.

Jarrah Gas/Lily Gas

Available only to customers in NSW and VIC, Click Energy claims that the Jarrah and Lily gas plans offer low usage and supply charges, as well as ‘hassle-free’ bills sent monthly via email.

Click Energy retails natural gas on the Jemena network in NSW, which covers part of the inland and most of the central and east coast, including Sydney, Hunter and Illawarra. See how Click stacks up compared to other gas retailers in our New South Wales gas review.

In Victoria, Click Energy operate across all gas distribution networks. Check out how Click Energy ranks on price in our Victoria gas price comparison.

Click Energy Billing

Click Energy customers can pay their bills in four ways: Direct debit, online payment, telephone payment or through BPay. Customers should note that paying with their card online will incur a 0.6% fee.

In order to benefit from the discounts, we discussed earlier, customers need to ensure their bill is paid in full and on time. Other conditions may also need to be met, depending on the plan.

Click Energy Online Tools

Click Energy customers have access to a couple of useful online tools, however it’s fairly basic compared to other retailers in the market. Here are some features you can access online:

  • View and pay bills
  • Access information on eligible concessions or rebates
  • Browse energy saving tips

Is Click Energy right for me?

After years of promoting big discount power plans, Click Energy has undergone something of a makeover, moving away from those often-confusing deals to provide a much simpler suite of plans for Aussies to consider. Click Energy claims its online business model helps it to keep costs down, but unlike some other retailers that promote themselves as online-only, Click still maintains a call centre, so you can call up and chat with a customer service representative rather than chatting or signing up online.

Click Energy can be price-competitive, but it’s wise to keep a close eye on the product and pricing you sign up to as rates can change at the retailer’s discretion. And as mentioned above, Click also has a habit of changing its products quite frequently, meaning a better deal than what you are on could become available without you knowing.
