How we pick the right energy retailer for your site.
We are tied to no retailer. Here is exactly what decides the answer, and how you can check we are not just picking a mate.
In short: there's no single best energy retailer for a Brisbane business. It depends on your usage shape, your demand charges, the contract length, whether gas should be bundled, the exit fees and whether you run one site or twenty. We read your bill and interval data first, price it, then show you every offer we get back with our commission printed on it in c/kWh. We're paid by the energy retailer when you switch, never by you.
No retailer gets a default answer from us.
Plenty of brokers have a house retailer. It is the one that pays best, and it quietly wins most of the placements. That is the thing you should be checking for, in us and in anyone else you talk to.
Here is how you check us. Ask for every offer we received, not just the recommended one. Ask what the commission is on each, in cents per kWh. Ask why the one we recommended beat the others on your numbers specifically. We answer all three in writing, every time, because the comparison sheet is built that way.
We work with select, trusted retailers who believe in fair pricing and honest account management. That is a panel, not the whole market, and we will always say so plainly rather than pretend otherwise.
Seven things that pick the retailer, before the price does.
The headline rate is the last thing we look at, not the first. These are what actually move the annual number on a commercial bill.

Two ways we price a site.
Under ~100 MWh a year
Retailers quote off published commercial SME rates. We put your bill to the retailers on our panel who can price your load, and line the offers up on a single sheet in the same format.
Over ~100 MWh a year
This goes to tender. We pull 12 months of interval meter data, package it as a request for bid, and the retailers bid against each other on your actual load shape rather than a rate card.
Every offer, not just one
You see all of them, including the ones that lost. Rate, demand charge, term, exit fee, and our commission in c/kWh next to each. Then I'll tell you which one I'd sign and why.
We keep the date
Your renewal date goes on the clock and we come back to you 90 days out to re-test the market, rather than letting the contract roll onto an evergreen rate.
Who we'll name today.
We name a retailer here only once the agreement is actually signed. That is why this list is short, and it is deliberately short rather than impressively long.
More agreements are in progress. Those retailers get named here the day the paperwork is signed, and not a day before. If you want to know whether a specific retailer can price your site right now, ring me and I'll tell you straight.
We're paid by the energy retailer when you switch, never by you.
When we move your account to a new retailer, that retailer pays us a commission, partly upfront, partly as a trail while you're with them. Your rate is your rate. There's no markup, no broker fee on your invoice, no monthly subscription.
We disclose the commission existence on every quote. If you want to know the exact dollar amount on a deal, ask. We'll tell you.
This is why we win on transparency: we'd rather show you the maths than dress up the savings.
Send your bill, we'll price it properly.
One bill upload, one comparison sheet, every offer shown with the commission on it.
