Totally incompetent
Never sent a technician to property to connect power, kept charging regardless. No country level support, international call center are unable to even understand the issue. Avoid at all costs.

ENGIE took over my electricity without consent
ENGIE took over my electricity supply without my consent – and it took 12 weeks to fix.
They had previously advised they couldn’t supply my property, so I arranged electricity with another provider. Despite this, ENGIE later took over the account anyway.
Even after acknowledging the error, they continued billing and issued an overdue notice while the matter was in dispute. It ultimately required escalation through the Energy & Water Ombudsman to have all charges waived and the account closed to $0.
This should never have required that level of effort to resolve.
I would strongly recommend avoiding this provider.

Poor service
Extremely challenging website to navigate. Customer service non existent. I'm changing address but they make it impossible to end your account without transferring to the new property. Very predatory and feels like malicious incompetence, knowing that most people will not bother to put the effort in to figure it out.
Literally took me 3 minutes to do on the momentum website and I find myself multiple days and hours down the rabbit hole waiting for a phone call that will come "at some point today". Not even a ball-park estimate of how many hours it could be?

I lost all my power at ~5:30pm due to a failure in the cables feeding my power board, nothing to do with Engie.
While I arranged a repair the power to the site was disconnected for safety reasons,
This meant that I had to call Engie and ask them to request a “Re-Energise” from the provider once the repair was finished. Simple right?
Wrong!!
The repair was finished just before 2pm on the following day (Star Electrical, brilliant service) so the power had been off for over 19 hours.
I rang Engie, explained the situation and asked them to place the Re-Energise request,
The person asked about an Electrical Certificate of Compliance (ECOC), I emailed a pdf copy and confirmed that there was a hard copy in the meter box.
“No problem, we’ll organise”
Nothing had happened after 90+ minutes so I rang the power distributor. They had not received a request from Engie. Rang Engie again, almost 2 hours after the first call, multiple periods on hold, “Sorry, a request was created but not processed, I’ll create a new one and process it”
Again I was asked about the ECOC, I confirmed that there was a hard copy in the meter box. The request was processed while I was on the phone.
“Check with the provider in about 45 minutes”
Checked 50 minutes later, a little delving found a rejected request.
It needed to confirm that there was an ECOC on-site.
It didn’t, box not ticked!
It was now 3 hours since the repair was completed and almost 24 hours since the power went out.
Rang Engie again!!
Explained everything (again), multiple periods on hold followed.
Then I was advised that I had to procure an ECOC!!!! You remember the ECOC, the one I emailed three hours earlier and twice confirmed there was a hard copy in the meter box.
That ECOC.
I may have been a little loud at this point. Finally the person stated that they would process another request, call my provider to confirm receipt ask for the job to be expedited and would then call me back.
I got that call about 35 minutes later.
It was now just over 4 hours since the repair was completed.
I rang my provider to find, you guessed it, no request.
So I rang Engie again, call number 5!!!!!
This time they contacted the provider while I was on hold and finally, incredibly, confirmed the request.
4 hours 30 minutes wasted to finally get to this point!!!
My power was restored in just under 2 hours from the time the request was confirmed but a full 27 hours after it went off.
At the end of every call to Engie I was told that I’d be sent a survey, didn’t receive one. Probably just as well.
I was also urged to download the Engie App, I did but it won’t be much use when I change to another retailer. 🤷♂️

Better communication
Better communication. I, unknowingly at thevtime, had an embeddered unmetered gas plan. I told that to Engie and they kept trying to get a contract. I have electricity with them. They ring out of the blue at 8pm and I didnt know if it was a scam or not. English skills were not quite good enough.

INCOMPETENCE OF ENGIE
INCOMPETENCE OF ENGIE.
In April 2026, I used ISELECT in AUSTRALIA to change energy provider.
I selected to change to ORIGIN. I received from Origin a letter 1 May.
Origin specified:
We're just letting you know that the final pieces of your natural gas account are all sorted. Your natural gas transferred to Origin on 24 April 2026, so
we're now your retailer and will start billing you from this date
On 25 May, 2026, I received Gas bill from Engie. Period bill isa 24 April to 20 May 2026. How can this be accurate if Origin is my retailer from
24 April 2026. I phoned Engie on 138808. None of Engie staff can speak understandable English.
I spoke to Hitesh, Kishpi, Prerna, and finally Anna. There is a record of whom I have spoken to regarding this bill on 26 May 2026. I spoke to Anna
around 11.30am (AUST TIME).
None of them helpful and insist that I pay this bill. Told me to call Origin which I did and they said they have completed the process of transferring. One
of Engie staff then told me to ring the Distributor. He gave me the phone no. 136707. Ausnet told me the provider for this property is ORIGIN.
Engie, please fix up your Indian office.
1. Train them to speak fluent understandable English.
2. Train them to understand the AUSTRALIAN ENERGY SYSTEM. They kept on saying I did not call to cancel the gas.
I USED ÏSELECT". WE DO NOT NEED TO MAKE THE CALL TO CANCEL.
THIS IS NOT INDIA.
PLEASE EXPLAIN TO THEM.
I wasted from 9.30 to 12.30 pm to speak to Engie Team and nothing seems to get them to understand.
PLEASE FIX THIS PROBLEM AS I DEFINITELY WILL NOT BE PAYING ENGIE BILL WHEN ORIGIN IS MY PROVIDER

Engie are easy… until they’re not. Then they’re very difficult.
Recently moved house to a property with electricity already connected so had to cancel my Engie account. Firstly, I (wrongly) assumed that I would be emailed my final bill. However, after a month passed I had still not received it so I decided to log in to my Engie account to view it there instead. To my surprise, the account had been deactivated as I had no existing connection. I then contacted the Engie online chat and spoke with a human. They advised that ‘if there was an amount owing, it would be emailed through shortly’. I waited, waited, waited some more and never received an email (yes, I checked spam/junk). A month or two on, I have now been contacted by a debt collecting agency requesting immediate payment.

Dislike:
Dislike:
1. the connection seemed to be such a rocky process while my experience with other retailers were such a simple task. it took almost 3 weeks for Engie rep to confirm transfer of supply is officially completed. meanwhile another supplier (suspect was the previous owner's supplier) sent me letter threaten to disconnect supply of gas and electricity.
2. the myEngie is hopelessly useless, users unfriendly and their responses were confusing. 1 minute they confirm connection is completed and next minute the status is not without offering any solution but has the cheek to ask for a review for their performance. fortunately Engie are saved by a few reps (Khushpreet and another lady i forgotten her name) who are capable of understanding facts and eventually resolved the problem.
