ReAmped Energy Plans
ReAmped Energy may be a smaller retailer than the likes of AGL and Origin, but it can go toe-to-toe in terms value and price.

We’ve calculated estimated annual bills in each state for households signed up to each ReAmped Energy product.
- Advance: ReAmped’s Advance product is a pre-paid plan that allocates an amount you pay every fortnight, in advance for the next period. It only allows for direct debiting and receiving bills and communications online, and isn’t available in Victoria.
- Handshake: Another variable rate plan that bills customers in a more traditional way on a monthly cycle. While it has no exit fees, it offers low rates in exchange for 12 months of membership.

Is ReAmped Energy right for me?
There’s no black and white answer as to whether ReAmped Energy is right for you, but what’s promising is that its base rates appear relatively low and its plans relatively ‘simple’. However, rates are variable so can be changed at any time, up or down.
Since ReAmped Energy’s whole schtick is being online only, if you’re not a fan of online service and billing, ReAmped may not be the provider for you. Sometimes it’s good to have the safety of making a phone call should you need to…
The bottom line is that ReAmped appears to be a solid option for the time being, but prices are subject to change at any time and you should always compare what other providers are offering before making a final decision.

ReAmped Energy FAQs
Who owns ReAmped Energy?
ReAmped Energy is owned by The Energy Collective, a New Zealand company. ReAmped is the Australian retail arm of The Energy Collective, a group that also owns New Zealand power company Electric Kiwi. The electricity retailer was founded by Jason Donald, and ReAmped’s head office is currently based in Brisbane.
Does ReAmped Energy sell gas?
ReAmped Energy currently only sells gas to households in New South Wales. The retailer has hinted that it’s moving further into the natural gas market soon, however.
What plans and tariffs are available with ReAmped Energy?
ReAmped Energy is offering plans with no conditional discounts, in its words, as a way to ‘simplify’ the energy industry. In light of recent scrutiny of energy pricing, specifically questions around whether discounts really deliver the value they advertise, many providers have chosen to get rid of discounts entirely.
Instead, it’s becoming increasingly common for the energy companies to advertise low base rates and ‘simplified’ energy, in the hope of onboarding new customers who are struggling to understand their options. ReAmped Energy is doing just that, offering a few market contracts in each state, with multiple tariff options.
ReAmped Energy’s two primary tariff structures are a single rate and time of use. What this means is that on a single rate plan, you’ll be charged the same amount per kWh of energy usage no matter the time of day, and with the time of use tariff, how much you’re charged is dependent on whether it’s morning, noon or night (i.e. peak, off-peak, or ‘shoulder’ periods).
Within these tariffs the option to opt for a separate controlled load tariff, aimed at customers with a dedicated supply of electricity for their hot water system or pool pump.
Customers with a smart meter on the Ausgrid network in NSW can also select a transitional time of use plan, helping them move from a single rate to time of use tariff.
Can you buy green energy from ReAmped?
ReAmped offers green energy options, whereby customers can add 25%, 50%, 75% or 100% to fully offset their electricity usage, at an additional cost. According to its website, customers can choose the amount of GreenPower they want when signing up to the retailer online.
