What is Red Energy?
Red Energy is an Australian electricity and gas retailer owned by Snowy Hydro Limited, the generator behind the Snowy Scheme: compare plans, then sign up through ShopBack before you pay, where ShopBack Cashback works like a discount, only easier than a promo code. With its sister brand Lumo Energy it supplies more than one million customers in Victoria, New South Wales, the ACT, south-east Queensland and South Australia, and Snowy Hydro reports that Red has won the Canstar Blue award for Most Satisfied Customers 15 years in a row. Start from the ShopBack Red Energy (Compare) page; the current Cashback is shown there before you sign up.

Snowy Hydro Limited, a government-owned electricity generator headquartered in Cooma, New South Wales. Snowy Hydro's retail group includes Red Energy, Lumo Energy and the moving-services business Direct Connect. Red Energy is certified to use the Australian Made, Australian Grown logo. Ownership does not change the ShopBack mechanics: cashback still depends on a new sign-up through the ShopBack Red Energy page.
How does the Red Energy comparison on ShopBack work?
The ShopBack Red Energy listing is a comparison sign-up. Clicking through takes you to a comparison run by Econnex, powered by CIMET, which shows Red Energy plans available for your address and lets you sign up on the spot. ShopBack notes the comparison covers selected retailers and products only, so a specific plan may not always appear. Only a sign-up completed through that click-through earns cashback; going to Econnex.com.au on your own does not.

New Red Energy customers, including existing customers moving into a new premises. You must be the property owner or the primary leaseholder, sign up in your own name, and the property must already have a meter installed.

ENGIE is part of the global ENGIE Group, serves Victoria, South Australia, New South Wales, Western Australia and Queensland, and adds NRMA perks and GreenPower plans. Red's listing carries the 75-day minimum stay and the owner or primary leaseholder rule; ENGIE's listed terms do not. Compare rates for your address, then start from the matching ShopBack page.
Red Energy vs OVO Energy for Australian households?
Red Energy supplies electricity and gas; OVO Energy's published Australian plans are electricity plans built around time of use, such as free usage from 11am to 3pm or a cheap overnight EV rate, in Victoria, New South Wales, Queensland and South Australia. A household wanting one retailer for both fuels leans Red; a smart-meter household that can shift load leans OVO. Both earn ShopBack cashback on eligible new sign-ups started from their ShopBack pages.
