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 (Singapore-based Sembcorp Industries completed its acquisition from Hong Kong-based Chow Tai Fook Enterprises on 11 June 2026), 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.

Alinta also runs the Solar Sharer Offer (SSO), free electricity from 11am to 2pm in NSW and QLD, or 12pm to 3pm in SA, on top of your regular plan. See the Free Power Hub to work out whether it is worth switching for.
