Black Friday energy deals: Cut up to $500 off your electricity and gas bills

Black Friday is the go-to event for grabbing a bargain on appliances, technology, beauty and more. However, if you’re considering switching energy providers, it’s also a great time to find an electricity or gas deal.

Some of Australia’s biggest energy retailers have extended their special Black Friday offers for new customers on the hunt for lower bills or plan perks. Here’s a quick wrap-up of this year’s ongoing Black Friday energy deals.

ENGIE: Up to $500 in bill credit

ENGIE has dropped a flash Black Friday sale for new customers in New South Wales, Victoria, South East Queensland and South Australia. For a limited time, new sign-ups can claim up to $500 in bonus bill credits when switching to the retailer’s Black Friday Saver plan.

Switch to ENGIE’s Black Friday Saver electricity offer by December 10, 2024, and you’ll receive a one-off $250 welcome credit applied to your first bill. Customers in NSW, VIC and SA can also add natural gas, and score an additional $250 on their first ENGIE gas bill that’s a saving of up to $500 in total on energy costs.

This offer is available for eligible new customers who have not received a welcome credit from ENGIE in the past 12 months. For full terms and conditions, visit the ENGIE website.

Should I jump on a Black Friday energy deal?

Discounts or promotions can sometimes hide higher overall usage rates, so factor this in when you’re on the hunt for a new energy deal.
