September 2, 2024 -- Following last year's successful launch of our home electricity offer in South-East Queensland, this expansion into NSW will continue to take Ampol to where journeys start – at home.
By signing up to Ampol Energy, NSW customers will now be able to complement their mobility needs with a competitive fuel discount proposition.
Ampol Energy customers can benefit from a 10c/L discount on up to 1,500 litres of eligible regular and Amplify Premium fuels, per year. This discount can be redeemed at Ampol Foodary locations, via the Ampol app.
"Ampol Energy is a natural progression of our 100-year commitment to powering better journeys, no matter where they start," Ampol Executive General Manager, Commercial Fuels and Energy, Brent Merrick said.
Questions around this news
Where was Ampol Energy available before its New South Wales launch?
The release says the home electricity offer first launched in South-East Queensland the previous year. It also describes a small employee pilot in early 2023, before customer uptake began in South-East Queensland. The New South Wales expansion made the offer available across that state as of the release date.
What does it mean to be an electricity retailer?
An electricity retailer sells electricity plans to customers and manages the customer-facing parts of the service, such as plan information, billing and account support. Retailers generally buy electricity through wholesale markets or other supply arrangements. Their role is distinct from the networks that deliver electricity through poles, wires and other infrastructure.
What is the National Electricity Market?
The National Electricity Market is the interconnected electricity system and wholesale market serving eastern and southern Australia. Generators offer electricity into the market, while retailers and other participants obtain supply through it. The market operates alongside regulated networks that transport electricity to homes and businesses.
"We believe Ampol continues to play an important role for our customers as their mobility needs continue to evolve, and where better to support them than from the comfort of their homes."
Ampol's authorisation to become an electricity retailer across the National Electricity Market was approved in mid-2022 by the Australian Energy Regulator. A small employee pilot was conducted in early 2023 prior to customer uptake commencing in South-East Queensland last August.
