Plans & rates
Plans differ by state and billing method. Every retailer must publish a Default Market Offer (the government reference price), and amaysim's market offers are set as a discount off that benchmark.
There are no live amaysim Energy electricity plans listed right now. To see what you would actually pay, compare amaysim Energy against other retailers for your address and usage.
A data-style plan in VIC, NSW and QLD: buy a fixed monthly energy allowance at a flat rate with no daily supply charge, top up if you ran out, and roll over unused energy to the next month. A smart meter was included so usage could be tracked in real time.
A traditional plan with usage and daily supply charges and a discount off the reference price that varied by state, billed monthly rather than quarterly to soften bill shock.
The Classic plan paired with a higher solar feed-in tariff for households exporting power from a rooftop solar system, in exchange for a smaller discount on usage rates.
Natural gas could be bundled onto any postpaid plan for an extra supply and usage charge, with no lock-in contract and no exit fees and monthly billing.
Rates change often. Published rates date quickly. Compare amaysim against the retailers that supply your address for current pricing.
Solar
amaysim's Classic Solar plan paid a higher solar feed-in credit for electricity exported to the grid, traded against a smaller discount on usage rates. Feed-in rates were set by amaysim and varied by state. amaysim left the energy market in October 2021, so these rates are historical.

No. amaysim stopped offering energy services in October 2021, and its energy customers were moved to AGL. amaysim continues to operate as a mobile and broadband provider only.
Former amaysim energy customers were transferred to AGL. If you have not reviewed your plan since, it is worth comparing retailers to make sure you are still on a competitive rate.
amaysim offered a prepaid subscription electricity plan (with rollover and top-ups), a Classic postpaid plan, a Classic Solar plan with higher feed-in tariffs, and an optional Classic natural gas add-on. All plans used monthly billing to reduce bill shock.
amaysim supplied electricity in South Australia, Victoria, New South Wales and Queensland. Prepaid plans were available in VIC, NSW and QLD; the Classic plan was available in all four states.
Reviews were generally mixed, with amaysim scoring around 1.4/5 on ProductReview. Common complaints related to higher-than-expected or confusing bills. The plans suited customers who had a good grasp of their usage.
You paid a flat monthly fee for a set energy allowance with no daily supply charge, much like buying mobile data. If you used less than your allowance the balance rolled over; if you used more, you topped up. It rewarded households that knew their usage well and was available in VIC, NSW and QLD.
Because amaysim no longer sells energy, publishing a "current" rate table would be misleading. The last amaysim rates are years out of date and no longer reflect the regulated reference price. We explain how amaysim priced energy instead, and link you to live offers you can actually join.
amaysim is one option, but not always the cheapest. Compare it against other retailers that supply your address to find the plan that fits how you use energy.
