Every business is different, and that means there will be different energy contracts that better suit each of our customers. Whatever type of contract appeals to you, you’ll get competitive rates, access to our expert support team and helpful management tools to control your consumption and costs.
Fixed rate energy contract
Avoid the volatility of the energy market by fixing electricity and certificate prices for the duration of your contract.
Find out moreWhat’s the offer?
Our fixed product offer includes a range of options to meet your energy needs. Fixed pricing allows you to lock in electricity and certificate prices for the entire contract term at specified rates. For more flexibility, our pricing options include 'smooth' pricing, which maintains a consistent rate throughout the contract, and 'stepped' pricing, which offers different rates for each year, catering to various budget requirements and providing price certainty and protection from market volatility. We also offer up to 100% renewable energy options for all our fixed products, and a feed-in tariff for onsite generation.
Who’s it for?
This contract is ideal for large businesses with meters in NSW, ACT, QLD, VIC, and SA, particularly those seeking budget certainty. If your energy usage is consistent and predictable, a fixed rate energy contract can offer simplicity and peace of mind. Additional benefits include volume tolerance, allowing for adjustments in energy volume as your needs change.

Flexible rate energy contract
Progressively set your price with reference to market movement throughout the term of your energy contract, rather than fixing the price upfront for your power and/or environmental certificates.
Find out moreWhat’s the offer?
A flexible energy contract rate can provide advantages. It allows for a tailored approach to energy procurement, giving businesses the ability to adjust their energy usage and costs in response to market fluctuations. This type of contract offers the flexibility to benefit from lower rates when market prices drop, while also providing the option to lock in rates when prices are favourable. Furthermore, it supports budget management by enabling companies to better predict and control their energy expenses. However, there are risks. You are exposed to market price volatility, it can require more time and effort to manage in order to see the benefits, and plans can be more complex.
Who’s it for?
This contract suits those who prefer not to fix pricing for the entire contract duration at a single point in time and want to proactively manage their energy procurement timing. It allows you to manage your costs based on market conditions. If you value control, transparency, and the potential for savings, then a flexible energy contract may be for you.
Why choose SmartestEnergy?
SmartestEnergy provides a dedicated Account Manager, offering personalised service through a single point of contact, resulting in faster resolutions, proactive support, and strategic guidance.

Does SmartestEnergy provide information to assist with sustainability reporting requirements?
Yes, for customers with 100% renewable energy in their contract. Our LGC reporting meets the requirements of schemes like RE100, Climate Active, NABERS, and NGERS. Additional reporting needs can be discussed with your Account Manager.
What is the environmental impact of switching to your renewable energy services?
Our renewable energy products support the development and operation of renewable energy generators, which are crucial for reducing Australia's emissions.
How can businesses benefit from using your renewable energy solutions?
Including Renewable Energy in your contract can show your commitment to sustainability and decarbonising the grid. It can also help with scope 2 emissions outcomes if your business is involved in emissions monitoring or reporting.
What types of renewable energy sources do you offer?
We offer PPAs with Solar, Wind, and Battery projects.
Do you offer accredited renewable energy?
Yes, we can offer accredited renewable energy through GreenPower as well as independently audited renewable energy supply on all fixed and flexible contracts.

Yes, you have the option to source Renewable Energy certificates from specific projects through SmartestEnergy without engaging directly in a Power Purchase Agreement with developers. This not only supports your environmental goals but also enhances your marketing efforts with clear sustainability credentials.
What are LGCs?
Under the Renewable Energy Target (RET), Large Scale Generation Certificates (LGCs) are certificates generated by large-scale renewable energy producers for each megawatt hour of energy they produce. These certificates are sold to retailers, creating a market that financially incentivises renewable generators, fostering innovation and the development of renewable sources over fossil fuels.
What is a Retail PPA?
A Retail PPA is a direct agreement between a retailer and a renewable energy project. With our Renewable Energy Plus product, we handle the negotiation with the developer, ensuring you get the best price without the hassle of managing the agreement yourself. Unlike Wholesale PPAs, which are financial instruments unrelated to your electricity supply, Retail PPAs provide a direct, physical supply of renewable energy managed by your retailer, reducing market risks for your business.
