After the hacking there was some confusion about my bill and when it was due. The young man who responded to my email Kelvz was very helpful and answered all my questions.

Prices down but Bills going up
Heard from the Govt that power prices were going down but now Origin deciding to increase daily supply charges in their Affinity plan by100% from 1 July 2026. In reality that means our bills will be much higher as a result. That's a rip-off origin.

We completely understand why this feels contradictory and frustrating, and you're not alone in feeling this way. Let us be as transparent as we can. The Australian Energy Regulator (AER) has decided to cut the default market offer (DMO) in several states. Previously retail cost allowances were spread between usage and supply charges, but this year they are all accounted for in the supply charge, so daily charges would increase. For a majority of people these changes would reduce the bill, please send your details to supportsocial@orignenergy.com.au or reach out directly via Facebook Messenger, we can see how this would affect you.

No power for 3 days
Our electricity was confirmed to be connected on 29/05. And it was not. After calling origin during business hours your consultant confirmed they would raise another request to have our power connected. Again it was not. We had fridges full of food valued at $500 as we were moving into our first home. We had no power for three days. This has forever dimmed our first home experience and our experience with origin.

Hi Hayley, we’re really sorry to hear about your experience. Having your power not connected as confirmed, and then not resolved after follow‑up, is certainly not the experience we want for our customers. We'd really like the opportunity to look into this and help make things right. Could you please send your account details to supportsocial@originenergy.com.au, or send us a private message via Facebook Messenger, so we can investigate what happened and work towards a resolution for you! We appreciate you raising this and giving us, and we hope you give us a chance to make it right & get this sorted. Thanks -Lana

You have more plans than Telstra mobiles!! I am an old codger who doesn't want to look at plans he doesn't understand. You keep records; why can't you look at mine and say this is the go! Making things complicated for a few bucks is no good for me.

Easy to switch
I preferred being able to switch through email. Most providers use the phone but I find that hard to manage as I’m caring for grandchildren and phone contact for me happens at inconvenient times. This process was very easy and quick. Good follow up and confirmations.

Got the same consultant 3 years later!
I managed to speak to the same amazing consultant that sorted me out with solar 3 years ago. Aman was extremely helpful again and I chose to be with Origin again and am very happy. Aman is so genuine and real with his phone manor. This is wonderful for me and who ever is lucky enough to deal with him in the future.

Misleading Notification on Bill
Origin bill 6 months ago had a notification that one may be able to save money on another plan. It suggests that there may be a cost saving on Origin Go Variable plan. Checking prices on the web site stated, I found I am already being charged less so I ignored the offer. Today after getting a third bill with the same notification, I called Origin and found out that a better price was available but I actually had to call Origin to get it. The notification is very misleading.

Dear Neville, thank you for raising this, and you are absolutely right to call it out. We sincerely apologise for the confusion and frustration this has caused over the past six months. The plans offered on the website should be the same as the rates offered over the phone. Could you please send your details to supportsocial@orignenergy.com.au or reach out directly via Facebook Messenger, we can have a look into this further. Thanks - Lachy

many thanks to shanna in melbourne for her friendly co-opperation,knowledge,her time with explaining to me the details of my new plans for the next year was very informative,keep up the good work shanna,you are a credit to origin and their customers.
however i have some reservations with origin with long standing customers who i have been with for some 11 years who do not enjoy any incentives to stay with the company in the near future due to the fact that their incentives are for new and moving customers to receive credit bonuses to encourage new business,why has this not been passed on to existing customers who are the backbone of origins current business infrastructure that have been loyal for so many years,and we continue to suffer annual price increases to substitute for new customers? summary:i would appreciate your feed back on this matter.
