Our take on Origin Energy
Origin is in the same boat as AGL: huge scale, decent range of plans, but rarely the cheapest. Their pricing typically sits 5% to 15% below the DMO. Origin has been investing heavily in renewables and battery storage, which may appeal to customers who value a retailer transitioning away from coal. Their Spike plan and Solar Boost plans are worth comparing, but always check the estimated annual cost in dollars rather than relying on marketed discounts.
If you are currently with Origin and have not compared recently, there is almost certainly a cheaper option available at your address from a smaller, more competitive retailer.

Origin also runs the Origin Standing Solar Sharer, 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 you can shift enough usage into that window to make it worthwhile.
