ReAmped Energy CEO Luke Blincoe said his unusual warning to 70,000 customers is just the cold hard reality of a major spike inon the maximum providers can charge households and businesses.
"We thought we would be upfront and tell our customers to get the best deal they would have to leave us.Blincoe denied he was essentially killing off his business, instead saying it would be "shabby" to not be upfront about the likely doubling of bills."We are preserving our business by maintaining the trust of our customers in what is an unprecedented period of time," he said.
at least there honest
always the risk with these 'come to us for a great price' energy retailers who have no generation capability and wholesale prices shift dramatically.
9NewsMelb People are so dumb, they don’t understand “supply & demand law” when it comes to wind renewables. If there is no wind then electricity MUST be purchased/supplied from elsewhere or their are blackouts. Look at how well Germany’s 150,000MW of wind is doing.
A company not playing political games with customers. Hang on a minute, this must be a dream! It has my vote for being honest in today's world 🌎

Go elsewhere for cheaper power, ReAmped Energy tells its customersEnergy retailer ReAmped Energy has urged its 70,000 customers on Australia’s east coast to find another supplier or face a doubling of their power bills from July 1. “This is gutting,” the CEO said. I reckon we might need to see legislated price controls adopted. If retailers are doubling prices, this potentially indicates market failure. For a country like Australia to have high energy prices is ridiculous. TI Power prices going up? How does the price of wind and sunshine go up? Thanks Tony Abbott. Just need to allocate enough (20% more maybe) of our gas supply to domestic use. Thisnis done in WA. Hashed out in public back in 2016/17 when energy prices crippled manufacturing.
