After the hacking there was some confusion about my bill and when it was due. The young man who responded to my email Kelvz was very helpful and answered all my questions.

Well done ‘Dave’ at ORIGIN ENERGY
Whilst I had to wait nearly an hour before someone could assist with my request for a better daily rate, in the end it was well worth it. ‘Dave’ & I agreed on a deal to my satisfaction. I’ve been an Origin Energy customer for many years - partly because I don’t want a Smart Meter. I also use Origin Broadband (was Aussie now Superloop). My loyalty was acknowledged & rewarded. ‘Dave’ retained my custom for his employer - well done!

Hey Paul, sorry you had this experience, getting the addresses right is usually our bread and butter, sometimes there is a disparity from the address and meter which we won't know until we see the usage. Please send your details to supportsocial@orignenergy.com.au or reach out directly via Facebook Messenger, we can see why this took so long and if there is a better plan we can offer. Thanks - Lachy

The information you sent re setting up a new plan and gave no indication as to how this could be done. Your recommendation was different from that of the person I spoke to on the phone. I am not at all clear that I have got the best deal because I was not given a clear explanation.

I've been with origin for about 26 years in Tweed heads NSW, I just received an update for the changes as if 01/07/2026, kWh price slitly less as with govt rules, supply charge up from $1.80 day to $2.70 day rough guide only that's an increase of about $81 a quarter before you use any electricity. For low usage customers they still squeeze the dollars out. Same on them, better to pay a bit more for kWh (which have dropped) and pay less for just the service. Time for me to change and take the other 38 residents to a new provider

Prices down but Bills going up
Heard from the Govt that power prices were going down but now Origin deciding to increase daily supply charges in their Affinity plan by100% from 1 July 2026. In reality that means our bills will be much higher as a result. That's a rip-off origin.

Unprompted review
Reply from Origin Energy
We completely understand why this feels contradictory and frustrating, and you're not alone in feeling this way. Let us be as transparent as we can. The Australian Energy Regulator (AER) has decided to cut the default market offer (DMO) in several states. Previously retail cost allowances were spread between usage and supply charges, but this year they are all accounted for in the supply charge, so daily charges would increase. For a majority of people these changes would reduce the bill, please send your details to supportsocial@orignenergy.com.au or reach out directly via Facebook Messenger, we can see how this would affect you. Thanks - Lachy
