GEE Energy Review & Rates

GEE Energy has currently switched off its market offer plans to new customers in NSW, QLD and Tasmania. We will do our best to keep the details on this page up to date as new information becomes available. Please treat information below as historical only, and check plan details/availability directly with GEE Energy.

GEE Energy is one of the latest entrants into the Australian retail electricity market. Formerly trading as Anaya Enterprises and then Green Energy Experts, GEE Energy started its ventures in the commercial solar sector. The retailer has since made the jump to residential solar and now electricity in New South Wales, south-east Queensland and Tasmania. 

Proudly independent and owned and operated in Australia, GEE Energy claims to offer reliable and cheap electricity rates, as well as great solar feed-in tariffs for households and businesses. With a ‘customer-first’ philosophy when it comes to retailing power, GEE Energy aims to pass savings on to consumers, but is this truly the case? Canstar Blue takes a look into how its plans work to see if GEE Energy is the right provider for you.

GEE Energy has launched in NSW and QLD, with four market offers for customers to choose from, Saver, Flexi, Basic and Sun Saver.

Sun Saver offers variable rates as well as a higher feed-in tariff for the first 10 kilowatt hours (kWh) per day. There are no exit fees on this offer and the contract is ongoing. Customers can also earn a $50 bill credit for signing up online.

GEE Energy Solar – TBC

Coming into the residential energy space as an established solar installer, GEE Energy has a lot to offer households when it comes to solar power, whether that be through a decent feed-in tariff or a home solar package. 

Customers with solar panels can stand to earn a decent return on their solar exports with GEE Energy through its plan – Sun Saver. This plan awards households with rooftop solar with a higher feed-in tariff for the first 10 kWh/day and is available to both NSW and QLD residents. 

Bill-payers on GEE Energy’s other market offers will earn a modest solar feed-in tariff of 5c/kWh in NSW and QLD. 

As for home solar packages, GEE Energy is a Clean Energy Council accredited solar retailer and installer, and offers installation packages to residential properties. GEE Energy claims to offer tier one quality panels and inverters, using brands such as Jinko Solar, Trina Solar, Canadian Solar, Fronius, Goodwe and SMA. 

GEE Energy also offers a variety of payment options, including BYO finance, for households interested in installing solar.

GEE Energy Payment and Billing Options

There are a few different ways customers can pay their energy bill with GEE Energy:

• Direct debit
• Credit card
• Cheque 
• Over the counter at Australia Post

GEE Energy claims to offer flexible billing options, with monthly billing available. Customers can also choose to opt into bill-smoothing with GEE Energy if they wish. This means that the bill-payers with a traditional dial meter can elect a monthly amount to pay to help manage costs. Once their quarterly reading comes through, they can cover the difference or remaining amount with an additional one-off payment. 

It is important to note that some of the payment options above, namely credit card and cheque payments, may incur an additional fee or charge. For more information, it is best to head to the GEE Energy website. 

Is GEE Energy right for me?

Although it is fairly new to the market, GEE Energy appears to offer a few decent energy deals to customers in NSW and QLD, particularly to those who have solar panels installed at their property. 

But, if you are thinking of signing up to GEE Energy, it is probably best to consider whether variable rates and monthly billing options are best suited to your household size and energy usage.  While managing your payments through bill smoothing can help to spread your costs throughout the year, it could mean that you are left paying more for power at certain points of the year, especially if you have a particularly high usage quarter. That being said, it could also mean you have lower bills at other times of the year. 

It’s also worth taking your preferred payment method into account when researching this retailer, as some options may incur more fees than others.
