Should I sign up to Alinta Energy or Dodo?
Alinta Energy and Dodo are perfectly reasonable electricity providers. In fact, they make things pretty simple for prospective customers with just one or two offers to consider, quite unlike several other retailers which have three, four or even more contracts to navigate. This can make things more complicated than it needs to be, so credit to Alinta and Dodo in this regard. Both are reasonably price-competitive in each state, without any confusing discounts that usually require meeting certain conditions.
While Dodo is often cheaper than Alinta Energy, you need to consider the big picture. Dodo may provide further savings for bundling your electricity with gas or internet, depending on where you live, while Alinta Energy comes with value-add incentives in the scope of shopping discounts and rewards. This could prove helpful if you don’t want to switch energy provides too frequently and you want to consolidate a few of your utilities. Before just settling on one or two retailers, why not compare a range of plans from multiple energy providers? Who knows, you may land on a great deal you had no idea was there. Get started below!
