Engie has been opaque, extremely difficult and untrustworthy in trying to close an account. I moved out of a property in Adelaide to one interstate in a place Engie doesn't operate. They will not take requests to close accounts online/in writing, and it took multiple attempts and over an hour of my time to try to guarantee a move out by the only way they will let you arrange one when you're closing your account, which is by phone. This feels predatory. You can't honestly tell me it's necessary to make someone call, you're just trying to force people to stay with you.
After wasting an extremely unnecessary amount of my time through a call centre that at no point makes it easy to find the right person to help you, Engie eventually promised that my "move out" was arranged, and I would not be billed after my move out date. But I've just received bills that have both:
- my special meter read fees for my move out, so you can't pretend you didn't know I was moving out
- ongoing charges from after my move out date until now
This has put me back in the position of having to waste even more hours trying to get Engie to do their jobs for something that should be straightforward. I'm on the verge of an Ombudsman complaint, this is so far below standard. Where is my ability to charge Engie for the time wasted? My hourly rate varies from $80-$160 depending on the time of day, so you've genuinely wasted at least a few hundred dollars of my time.

While choosing the package on the website, the informations seemed to be confusing. Perhaps making them more layman tone. Those point forms are brief which were good, but it doesn't bring much clarity. I took a fair bit of time to search and compare those points on Google.

The join up was fine, Too early to review the whole experience though

So far my experience with Engie has been great. The staff I’ve spoken to have been really helpful, and they’ve offered some good energy deals.

I was put on the wrong plan when signing up online, so I would miss out on the Feed In Tarriff credit. Also they hide the rates making it difficult to see how much they will charge you with their high rates.

The process of moving house was made so simple - a few clicks and it was all sorted. Everything worked as planned … I wish everything else worked as smoothly!

After doing a compare the market Engie came up the best company with the best deals so I switched; anything to save money on our bills, also what drew me to change was the bonus credits, this made it even more enticing to join. Thank you
