Energy Locals arrive in South Australia

Electricity retailer Energy Locals have been making waves in NSW, ACT and Queensland with their promise of cheap, fair and clean energy. Now it’s South Australia’s turn and Energy Locals are not holding back. On their first day in the market, Energy Locals offered the cheapest plan for households that use 20kWh of electricity a day. We’ll break down what Energy Locals offer and outline the plans that are now available to residents of South Australia.

New Local at the top

Here’s what to expect

Founder, Adrian Merrick said, “It’s clear that we can’t rely on policy or corporates to make energy an affordable household and business expense. We’ve proudly created an energy product that’s cheap and comes with the unique promise that customers won’t get screwed”.

The price is the price

Energy Locals don’t play the discount game. Instead, all customers get low ongoing rates that are simple to understand. Plus Energy Locals promise not to raise prices for profit with their ‘no gouge’ guarantee. All while providing a 100% local customer service team.
