Red Energy review
Red Energy's established itself as one of the major power retailers in the country outside the big 3 (AGL, Origin Energy, EnergyAustralia). Its electricity and gas plans tend to be on the more expensive side but come with some perks.
The big draw for signing up to Red Energy is to earn Qantas Points. When you initially sign up you can earn 10,000 bonus points on its electricity plan and 5,000 for gas.
After that, every dollar you spend on the Qantas Red Saver plan will earn you an additional 2 points.
Pros
- 100% Australian owned
- Local customer support
- Refer a friend
Cons
- Only has an app for its rewards program. It doesn't let you manage your plan
We are interested in getting 30 solar panels and possibly a battery storage system. Would love an onsite inspection and quote
Hi Jan,
Thanks for leaving a question on finder.com.au. You can contact them directly and get a quote by going to their website. Hope it helps.

I am single into a new rental home looking for appropriate electricity plan
Hi Piotr,
Thanks for reaching out.
To get the most suitable provider for you, you may check out our guide on electricity plans to learn more about your options, what to look for, and how to compare electricity plans and providers.
You may also fill out the form on the same page and get in contact with an energy broker to discuss your options. Before applying, please ensure that you read through the relevant Product Disclosure Statements/Terms and Conditions when comparing your options before making a decision on whether it is right for you.
Cheers,

Is it likely that Red Energy will enter the Tasmanian energy market soon? Kind regards, Scott
Hi Scott,
Thanks for your inquiry.
I’m afraid we don’t have the answer to that question. What you can do is directly get in touch with Red Energy and confirm.
In the meantime, if you are keen to explore other options, please check our list of energy providers in Tasmania.
Cheers,
Rench
I am a Red Energy user and have installed solar panels on my house from a different company. Will I get a discount and at what dollar rate will I get off my electricity bill for power returned to the grid?
Hi Chris,
Thanks for your question. Just to confirm, you have reached finder, a comparison website and general information service, not actually Red Energy.
I suggest you contact Red Energy directly to enquire how much solar rebates you can get. Meanwhile, you may refer to our guides here on solar rebates in Australia and on solar panels payback time for helpful information.
Kind regards,
Liezl
