About the SA Concessions Energy Discount Offer
The SA Concessions Energy Discount Offer gives a 20% guaranteed discount off Origin's standard electricity usage and supply charges, and 15% off its standard natural gas charges. LPG users get 40% off Origin's local price for a 45 kg cylinder for 12 months.
It also strips out fees: no late payment, card payment, processing, paper bill or exit fees, plus flexible payment options. It sits on top of the concession itself, which you keep.
A discount off a standard price is not automatically the cheapest deal. The cheapest open plans in South Australia can already be well below the Default Market Offer, so compare the offer on Energy Made Easy using your own usage, and factor in any solar.
