Who are AGL?
AGL started out as the country’s original gas company way back in 1837, then known as the Australian Gas Light Company. While we might not use gas lights anymore, the publicly listed AGL has stayed a fixture on Australia’s energy scene. Almost 200 years later, they’ve gone on to become one of Australia’s biggest electricity and gas retailers with about 4.5 million AGL energy or telecommunications services used as of October 2024.1AGL – Our Company
What makes AGL special?

Peak Energy Rewards
With AGL’s Peak Energy Rewards program, you can save money by being smart about your energy usage in peak times. If you sign up to this initiative, you’ll get a text when there’s pressure on the grid and you can opt to reduce your energy use, like switching off the aircon or turning off some lights. Then, if you meet the energy reduction targets for that time, you’ll get credit towards your next bill. In 2022–23, more than $1.3 million was paid out in these credits – that’s not bad for switching off some lights or turning off the aircon.2AGL – Peak Energy Rewards

How much does AGL cost?
Everyone’s bills will vary depending on their plans and energy usage. Of course, you could always use the reference price – that’s the Default Market Offer (DMO) or Victorian Default Offer (VDO) – to give you a place to estimate from.
These prices are set by the relevant regulating authority to try and make sure consumers all have access to affordable electricity. They balance that with how much it costs to make and transmit that electricity. The reference prices typically aren’t the cheapest prices around but could give you a convenient figure to compare AGL electricity plans against.
Unfortunately, there’s no reference price for gas. But that doesn’t mean comparing is off the table. iSelect’s online gas plan comparison tool or our energy comparison experts could help you get a more personalised estimate and comparison for AGL gas plans, along with other options.
Does AGL offer renewable energy plans?
Not everyone has the budget or space to install solar panels. But that doesn’t mean you have to miss out on using electricity from renewable sources. For instance, there’s AGL Green Energy. This is an additional feature you can add to AGL Electricity Plans to source either 20% or 100% of your electricity from accredited GreenPower renewable electricity generators.
There are additional fees for this, so you’ll need to factor these into your budget. You might find that giving up takeaway coffee or a night out is enough to make the numbers line up and turn AGL Green Energy into a viable option for you.
