DO NOT LISTEN TO REAL ESTATES WHEN THEY SUGGEST THIS COMPANY

published

Newly built little townhouses in sunshine coast, was recommended this supplier from our real estates and then lied to saying that this is the only supplied in the area - WRONG. We were charged over $200 for a MONTH for a small townhouse. We were also lied to by the supplier when we asked if they charged an initial fee to set up the electricity, another lie - they charge a $25 connection fee. The day was received our first bill was the same say we changed electricity suppliers. No discounts are provided, not a very competitive supplier from what we can see.

Wonderful customer service.

Nothing is a problem for this company. All phone calls are answered promptly and helpfully.
Had a new service supplied quickly and easily. Wonderful customer service, can not recommend highly enough. Well done to them!

No customer or after hours service and expensive

published

If you're considering using this company, think again.
The company communication is non existent which explains why their staff have less customer service than a stop sign.

They have been dismissive and dishonest to save a few bucks and cover thier mistakes on my account.

If your strata or body corporate decides to use this company, you will no longer have the power of choice and are stuck with them. How can that possibly get you the best deal.

Edit: it has been a few months now and they are no cheaper than my previous supplier, don't send bills but send harassing reminders and have a few hidden fees I'm still trying to decipher.

Great Company and excellent staff 10/10 would recommend

published

Power is reliable, i’ve never experienced a drop out (while home) power was once off as i returned home and couldn’t enter my house due to garage not being able to open but after giving them a call it was done in less then 30 min.

It is a trap! never sign up.

published

Their marking strategy is to get building manager make everyone sign-up. (not sure what they give them, but they run around trying to convince you). Once you are with them the problem starts. limited customer support on limited hours. They are resellers so they can't help with your electricity supply. Their payment is monthly with short due dates. failing to pay on time or slight wrong payment will void your "discounts" resulting in extra fee for the month (like 30%) and an extra $14 late payment fee. Also you owe them a final meter reading fee if you are renter.

Excellent customer service

published

Sign up process was simple, and when I needed to cancel my service (moved interstate) the disconnection was just as simple. No off shore customer service & little to no wait time to reach a customer service officer.
Was contacted after cancellation to advise of a credit remaining on my account - not many honest companies like this left! Big shoutout to Julie who assisted me in submitting a refund request & was an absolute pleasure to deal with.

Exceptional service

published

Extremely happy with LPE since the get go. Our unit complex transitioned to bulk supply a couple of years ago. We were kept informed at all times during the transition stage and staff were excellent in answering queries. I didn’t know what to expect as this concept was new to me at the time. So glad I agreed and signed up. We’ve noticed a huge reduction in the cost of combined power and gas hot water, and there’s never been any ‘surprises’. I’ve recommended LPE to my daughter who lives in a townhouse setting as I believe she and her partner (and others) will benefit if they too made the shift to LPE. Can’t speak highly enough of the staff, especially Shelley whom I recently dealt with.

Worst Energy Supplier Ever - Very Expensive

published

So i live in an apartment where i was using Red energy prior for a 1 person studio apartment. My quarterly bill was $310.

Then, we were made to switch to Locality Planning Energy and i started getting a monthly bill of $160. Thats $480 quarterly. A major increase in my bill and i am not even home most days of the month as i travel interstate for work.

i complained several time but nothing was done.

Dodgy Company, DO NOT move your electricity with them

Great Prices and Local Customer Service

published

We use LPE as our electricity supplier. The process to sign up was very easy and we didn't even have to contact our old supplier. Our power is reliable and whenever I have called their customer service team, (who are based in Australia) they have been able to resolve everything easily and quickly. So refreshing to speak with an Australian and not have to deal with a communication barrier. We are paying a very competitive rate for our electricity and I always recommend them to family and friends.

No Offshore Customer Service - PERFECT!

published

We saw the advertisement on TV and decided to give them a call - we were so impressed with the Customer Service and the fact that the company was Australian owned and supported Aussie Communities - but what really sold us was the Customer Service, it is local and not offshore - we love the fact that we can speak to an Australian! The pricing was awesome, very competitive and the way they explained everything to me was easy to understand - so pleased we made the change!

By far the worst electricity provider

published

By far the worst electricity provider, no after hours customer service line, switched off the power without providing notice, the response from that was “we will get someone to contact you in the morning”. Do not go with this company.

Meter read are inconsistent and random days

published

I am sick of this company slowly increasing my bills each month, only two people live in the unit and majority of things are switched off at the power point or unplugged.
They completely stuffed up the first bill by over $350 which then they rectified right before the due date. (how does this happen?).

They randomly check the meter at different days of the month, so one bill can say 30 days the other 27 days or 40 days, seriously sort your mess out and have a proper time frame, getting sick of this inconsistencies and inaccuracies of readings costing everyone a fortune.

Never again going with body corporate agreements.

Unfortunately you guys told me to get an electrician to rectify the issue. The bloody unit is brand new. I'm sure you know exactly what the issue is but this is part of a strategy by LPE to discourage customers chasing the issue. Disgusting.

LPE isn't worth it

Not very helpful

published

Me and my partner have just moved into an apartment where we could not use our own provider. Fair enough it was in our contract. 1st bill was $53, 2nd bill$27, 3rd bill $79 we do not have internet. Do not cook at home. Don't use air con. Have emailed continuously to ask what their peak and off peak times are. As we are trying to save. Response was it is on top of your bill. Check you latest bill. Go to our website Unable to get a straight answer. Wonder what next bill will be.

Weekly Harassment Notes

published

After speaking to their customer service team, I’ve decided to stay with my existing service provider as I believe that LPE can’t provide me the care and attention that I deserve as a paying customer.
For starters, on a weekly basis they leave notes under my door advising me of my options. Thanks for that, I got the understanding the first time, no need to waste paper.
Yesterday I came home from work and slipped on the piece of paper that their rep had left me. Injuring myself in the process.
Their customer service team isn’t open after hours so it’s not like I can contact them anytime I have a problem.

My Body Corporate is considering signing with LPE for electricity from solar panels they will install on our roof. I'm finding it hard to speak to anyone who has this system installed and before we go ahead I'd like to have feedback on whether people are happy with this system.

The problem is what the salesman is not telling you. They give kickbacks to building managers. This comes from overcharges to tenants.
