Amaysim energy: an overview

Amaysim was first founded in 2010 as an Australian telecommunications company. In 2017, amaysim acquired Click Energy in an attempt to enter the Australian energy market. 

Following the trend of innovative energy plans, amaysim began to offer an energy subscription service, much like how customers purchase data for their phones.

Amaysim plans: Prepaid and postpaid energy

Amaysim plans are available to customers in South Australia, Victoria, New South Wales, and Queensland. All their plans are an attempt to reduce bill shock, through monthly payments rather than quarterly, and come with no confusing discounts so customers understand what they are paying for.

Amaysim prepaid plans

Amaysim’s prepaid subscription electricity plan - available to customers in Victoria, New South Wales, and Queensland - takes an innovative approach to energy usage, similar to cellular data plans.

Customers purchase a certain amount of energy for the month at a flat rate with no daily supply charges. If they go over their energy usage, they can purchase additional energy “top-ups”. If a customer doesn’t use all their energy, that energy gets rolled over into the next month.

Amaysim prepaid energy plan allows you to switch to a higher or lower plan at any time with no extra charge and comes with no lock-in contract or exit fee. All amaysim prepaid energy plans come with an included smart meter and installation, and customers with solar panels are eligible for a feed-in-tariff.

Amaysim Classic plan (+ Classic Solar)

Customers in South Australia, Victoria, New South Wales, and Queensland also have access to amaysim’s classic electricity plan. This plan follows a more traditional approach to electricity but still aims to reduce bill shock through monthly billing.

For customers with smart meters, this bill is simply your monthly usage. Customers with traditional meters, however, still get their meter read every three months but receive smaller bills in between which then get deducted from their three-month meter reading bill.

Customers with solar energy systems also have amaysim Classic Solar, which has the same great benefits as the traditional classic plan, but with higher feed-in-tariffs.

Classic Natural Gas with amaysim Any amaysim plan can have a classic natural gas subscription added onto it for an additional fee. Amaysim natural gas has the same benefits as amaysim’s classic electricity plan. Customers can enjoy not being locked into a contract and have no exit fees and billing comes monthly to avoid bill shock.
