Red Energy review

Red Energy reviews from happy customers show that they are impressed by the incentives on offer, no lock-in contracts, the renewable matching promise and high FiTs. Customers also like that the company is 100% Australian-owned by Snowy Hydro. In the Canstar Blue customer review, they were awarded 5 out of 5 stars for overall satisfaction.

On the flip side, customers are less impressed by the fact that Red Energy electricity rates are the same across all plans, that they no longer sell solar panels and that their premium FiTs are only available in New South Wales and Queensland.
