New South Wales households can now cash in on a power bill discount worth almost $90 thanks to greener electricity provider Energy Locals.
Until the end of June, new customers who sign up to Energy Locals’ Online Member plan in NSW could be eligible for a monthly discount worth $14.99, for the first six months of their offer. This is equal to about $89 in total savings and essentially covers the membership fees included on the Online Member plan.
Energy Locals founder Adrian Merrick said the company hoped the credit would encourage NSW households to consider more sustainable energy options.
“We know times are tough for many New South Wales households with the rising cost of living, so we’ve been working hard to find ways to reduce the stress from energy bills while still supporting the transition to energy that’s better for the planet,” he said.
“By passing on energy prices as we buy them, and not charging the cost of retail overheads for six months, we believe we’re doing what’s right to give NSW customers a fair deal.”
Online Member is a variable rate plan that offers customers access to fixed wholesale electricity rates in exchange for a small membership fee. It comes with carbon offsets included as standard and GreenPower options for interested customers.
This offer is valid until June 30, 2023. South Australian energy customers are also currently eligible for a similar discount from Energy Locals.

Is Energy Locals’ credit a good deal for NSW households?
NSW households who have been on the hunt for a new, greener energy provider may find some value in making the switch to Energy Locals with this offer. Not only does the retailer offer more sustainable energy options in the form of carbon offsets and GreenPower options, but it also continues to strive in the solar battery and Virtual Power Plant (VPP) space. Energy Locals was also one of few retailers recognised by Canstar Blue in 2022 for a Green Excellence Award.
One thing to be mindful of when considering this offer is its discount. While excellent in the short-term, it should be noted that this will expire after the first six months, which means customers will likely see an increase to their costs from this point on.
The Online Member plan is also a variable rate offer, which means plan pricing could be subject to change at any time. However, Energy Locals is required to give customers at least five business days’ notice before implementing any price changes.
