Globird Energy Questions & Answers

Hi Archie,

Thank you for your message. We provide both electricity and gas services. Having said that, we have only recently launched in NSW, so it would be worth checking if both services were available in your area.

Hi Sonia C,

You can be assured that your details have not been shared with a third party, as we take privacy very seriously. It would be worth contacting them to see how they have received your contact details - they are another energy company.

Hi Emily,

We'd be delighted to assist you. If you can contact us on 133 456 or email [email protected], one of our helpful team members can assist you with a plan that is suitable based on your usage.

Hi Wally, GloBird is a privately owned company, it was started in 2014 by Irish born Australian John McCluskey who has lived in Melbourne for the last twenty years. He works in the company’s Mitcham office and he is a part owner along with some local investors and staff.

Hi Shayna,

As an energy retailer, GloBird is licenced by the Victorian government’s ESC (Essential Services Commission), and also licenced by the AER (Australian Energy Regulator). The company is a registered participant of AEMO (Australian Energy Market Operator) therefore the company must comply with the same market rules and laws as AGL, Origin or any other energy retailer. This means they can only issue bills based on meter reads provided to them by an independent (and also government regulated) meter data provider, this is usually your local distributor.

The meter data provider will only provide meter reads to one retailer at a time. If you switch from GloBird to another retailer, the independent meter data provider stops sending GloBird your meter reads and start sending them to your new retailer, so it’s impossible for GloBird to bill you beyond that point. You can contact your local distributor and verify that the reads your retailer is using to calculate your bill match with what is provided by the distributor.

There is a disconnection charge when you move out of your premises. If you are just leaving Globird and changing to another retailer at the same premises than there are no charges. As for gas, we have been providing this service since July 2018.
