Origin Energy: Our verdict

Origin Energy is one of the largest electricity and gas retailers in Australia, meaning you should expect to see a few bells and whistles alongside its energy plans, albeit at an additional cost.

Just keep in mind that while there's no lock-in contract or exit fees, you also don't have the option for monthly billing and you'll be charged a credit card fee.

Pros

Option to earn Everyday Rewards points on some plans
Comprehensive app for keeping track of energy usage and bills
Up to $25 per month discount on energy and internet bundle

Cons

Poor environmental track record
Credit card fees apply

Highly commended: Electricity provider (national)

Our expert says

"I've been with Origin Energy at multiple points in the last 5 years for either electricity, gas or both. I'm currently with them for electricity after taking advantage of an offer that would give me a $200 sign-up credit. The usage rates I was being charged were competitive too so I knew I wouldn't be worse off. When I'd initially signed up with them a few years ago I'd done it for both electricity and gas and scored 10,000 bonus Everyday Rewards Points. I then used that to save on my grocery bills at Woolies. "

Good to know

You can get 5-5.2 cents per kWh FiT on Origin's non-solar electricity plans.
If you live in NSW, VIC or QLD and have solar and battery systems installed at home, you can join Origin's Virtual Power Plant called Origin Loop. By joining, you'll help to relieve pressure on the grid at times of high demand. In return, you'll receive a credit on your electricity bill each month for five years.

Is Origin Energy environmentally friendly?

Green Electricity Guide Rating: 1.6/10

Origin Energy ranks 43rd (out of 47 providers) in the 2022 Green Electricity Guide rankings.

Although it supports renewable energy projects, Origin's low score is attributed to it being the "4th biggest polluter" and initial plans to burn coal until 2032. However, it's trying to accelerate the move to 2025.

Origin allows its customers to offset their carbon emissions and support renewable energy generation by offering GreenPower, Origin Go Zero and Green Gas at an additional cost.
GreenPower is a government-accredited program which allows Origin to send renewable energy back to the grid on your behalf, matching your usage.
You can add GreenPower to your plans by paying the following charges:
- 25% GreenPower: $0.65 per week
- 50% GreenPower: $1.35 per week
- 100% GreenPower: $2.70 per week
Origin Energy's Origin Go Zero add-on offsets the greenhouse emissions created by your power usage. You can purchase it for $1.50 per week.
Green Gas, similar to Origin Go Zero, offsets greenhouse emissions created by your natural gas consumption at the cost of $1 per week.

Thank you for your feedback!
