Our take on Alinta Energy

Alinta Energy is one of the more consistently competitive mid-tier retailers. Their plans are often among the cheapest at a given address, and their Trustpilot rating of 4.5 stars suggests the customer experience is well above the industry average. They are frequently recommended by comparison sites as a strong value option.

The main consideration is that Alinta is foreign-owned (by Hong Kong-based Chow Tai Fook Enterprises), which may matter to customers who prefer Australian-owned retailers. On pure pricing and service quality, they are a strong contender against the Big 3 and often beat them on price.
