Are Simply Energy’s NRMA plans a good deal for customers in NSW?

Whether you’re on your way to a picnic at Bondi or road tripping through the Blue Mountains, New South Wales has plenty to offer. As does Simply Energy’s partnership with NRMA, which boasts as being Australia’s largest membership organisation. In NSW, customers who are members of NRMA bag a guaranteed discount, as well as competitive usage and supply rates.

Simply Energy also offers GreenPower and solar plans to NRMA members. The Simply For Good NRMA plan offsets 100% of customers’ energy usage by matching the customer’s usage with approved GreenPower from accredited renewable electricity sources. This electricity is then fed into the grid for use by grid-connected households and businesses.

Meanwhile, members with solar panels can enjoy a boosted feed-in tariff with Simply Energy’s Solar plan. Looking to see what else is out there in your state? Then be sure to visit our NSW electricity prices guide.
