Pacific Blue review
Pacific Blue will favour those looking to reduce their environmental impact over having an electricity plan with low prices or bells and whistles, such as a rewards program or an app to track energy usage.
The electricity retailer's parent owns and operates a mix of wind, solar and hydro generation assets.
The focus on green energy is clear across its slate of plans. For example, you can opt for a 100% carbon-neutral plan or pay more and sign up for a 100% renewable electricity plan.
With this plan, Pacific Blue will purchase GreenPower equivalent to 100% of your electricity usage from renewable energy sources.
Good to know: Pacific Blue Hydro launched Tango Energy in 2012 to offer energy plans to households in NSW, VIC, QLD and SA.
Pros
- 100% carbon-neutral electricity plans at no extra cost to you
- Supports the generation of renewable energy in Australia
Cons
- Direct debit and monthly billing required on its Blue First plan, which is usually the cheapest
