EnergyAustralia (Compare)

EnergyAustralia is an Australian electricity and gas retailer headquartered in Melbourne, founded in 1995 and employing around 2,300 people. It is a subsidiary of CLP Group, the Hong Kong-listed power company established in 1901. On ShopBack it appears as EnergyAustralia (Compare), a listing that routes new sign-ups through the Econnex comparison service. A new plan started from the ShopBack EnergyAustralia (Compare) page earns cashback at the current published rate.

CLP Group, a publicly listed electricity company based in Hong Kong that dates back to 1901 and employs more than 60,000 people across its businesses. EnergyAustralia is recorded on Wikidata as a CLP subsidiary and as an Australian proprietary company limited by shares. Ownership does not change the ShopBack mechanics: cashback depends on completing a new EnergyAustralia sign-up through the ShopBack page.

The ShopBack EnergyAustralia listing is a comparison sign-up rather than a direct store link. Clicking through takes you to a comparison run by Econnex, powered by CIMET, which shows EnergyAustralia plans available at your address and lets you sign up there. ShopBack notes the comparison covers selected retailers and products only, so a particular plan may not always be offered. Only a sign-up completed through that click-through earns cashback; signing up on Econnex.com.au directly does not.

EnergyAustralia Cashback is for new EnergyAustralia customers, which includes existing customers moving into a new premises. Switching plans at the same address as an existing customer does not count as a new sign-up. The sign-up needs to start from ShopBack rather than Econnex.com.au directly, be for a property that already has a meter, and be in your own name. The EnergyAustralia (Compare) page on ShopBack shows which sign-ups earn Cashback and the live rate.

The ShopBack EnergyAustralia page publishes three separate fixed cashback amounts: one for a new combined gas and electricity sign-up, one for electricity only, and one for gas only. The combined tier applies when both fuels are taken up in the same new sign-up through the comparison. If your address only has one fuel available, you fall into that single-fuel tier. The amounts shown on the page are the current published rates and are adjusted at confirmation if the tracked tier differs.

Both are comparison listings on ShopBack with cashback for new customers and the same metered-property rule. EnergyAustralia is owned by Hong Kong-listed CLP Group; ENGIE is part of the global ENGIE Group, serves Victoria, South Australia, New South Wales, Western Australia and Queensland, and publishes no lock-in or exit fees plus NRMA perks and GreenPower plans. Compare the actual rates the Econnex comparison returns for your address, then start from whichever ShopBack page matches the retailer you choose.

Red Energy is owned by Snowy Hydro, supplies Victoria, New South Wales, the ACT, south-east Queensland and South Australia, and its ShopBack listing adds an owner or primary leaseholder rule and a 75-day minimum stay. EnergyAustralia's listing carries the standard new-customer and meter rules without those two conditions, and its cashback tracks as pending in about 15 days versus about four for Red. Both confirm after roughly 120 days. Rates for your address decide it; the ShopBack mechanics are otherwise similar.

Cashback from a new EnergyAustralia sign-up through ShopBack appears as pending within about 15 days, which is longer than most retail purchases because the retailer has to accept the new account first. It confirms after roughly 120 days, the window ShopBack uses to verify the account is new and still active.

Start from the ShopBack EnergyAustralia (Compare) page, go on to the Econnex comparison, choose an EnergyAustralia electricity, gas or combined plan for a property that already has a meter, and complete the sign-up in your own name. Go through ShopBack before you pay and the Cashback tracks to your ShopBack account. Cashback shows as pending within about 15 days and confirms after roughly 120 days. The fixed amounts per sign-up type are the current published rates on the ShopBack EnergyAustralia page.

Yes. Cashback is based on what you keep: if you return or cancel part of an order, the Cashback adjusts to match. Cashback confirms after roughly 120 days, so keep the account active until the amount shows as confirmed.
