Overview of Lumo Energy

Lumo Energy was first founded as four separate state electricity providers under infrastructure investment company Infratil. In 2010, the four separate electricity retailers came together as one, under the name Lumo Energy.

In 2014, Infratil sold Lumo Energy to the government-owned energy generator Snowy Hydro which is also the parent company of Red Energy. Since then, Lumo Energy has been slowly migrating customers over to Snowy Hydro subsidiary Red Energy.

As of right now, customers in Queensland, New South Wales, and the ACT are serviced by Red Energy, while Lumo Energy continues to provide service to customers in Victoria and South Australia.

Offers from Lumo Energy

Lumo Energy originally offered energy and gas plans to customers across Australia, including Queensland, New South Wales, and the ACT, Victoria, and South Australia. In 2014, however, Lumo was bought out by Snowy Hydro. As such, customers in Queensland, New South Wales, and the ACT are now provided energy services by Snowy Hydro subsidiary Red Energy.

For information about Red Energy including offers, information on how to subscribe, contact information, and more, visit Selectra’s Red Energy guide. Customers in Victoria and South Australia, however, are still able to purchase electricity and gas through Lumo.

Customers in Victoria and South Australia have access to Lumo Energy’s gas and electricity plans. All plans come without a contract and no exit fee, and customers of Lumo Energy have flexible billing options, as well as 24/7 access to Lumo My Account.
