Why are prices changing?
We don’t take the decision to increase prices lightly and continue to look for ways to keep costs as low as possible for our customers.
However, continued volatility in global energy markets combined with increased network charges means we now need to make some changes to our electricity and gas prices, our first increase in gas since 2022. We fully understand that any changes to pricing affects households and encourage customers who are experiencing difficulties to engage with us for support.

How can I save on my electricity costs?
Make sure you are on the right plan for your home. You can check your usage using the Energia Insights app to understand where and when you are using the most energy in your home. Some homes are better suited to Smart time of use tariffs while others will be more suited to 24 hour plans. If you don’t think you are on the right tariff, talk to our team about changing to a different plan.
Will my rates change if I am in contract?
Yes. Our tariff rates are variable and are subject to change. This is included in our terms and conditions.
If you are currently on a discounted contract, your prices will be increasing from the 12th October 2026. However, your discount will remain the same and will be deducted from the standard rates applicable to your tariff.
As a result of these changes, you have a right to terminate your contract within the next 30 days. If you would like to discuss your plan, please call us to discuss the best option for you.
