About Us
Making energy cheap, clean, and fair
Energy Locals is proudly 100% Australian based and operated. We offer clean, reliable, and cost-effective energy solutions to individuals, small businesses, and larger commercial enterprises.
We also support developers, body corporates, industrial projects, and residents within Community Energy Networks. With our extensive experience, we provide technology-driven and environmentally-friendly options that save our customers money and also helps out the planet.
Not your average energy company
We know – you’ve heard that before. But hear us out…
You see we’re done with the traditional energy model, and we’re ready to tackle climate change head-on! We know we can and must so something about it, so we’re here to make a difference.
Here’s the deal: Our goal is to give residential, commercial and business customers as much clean energy as they need, and at great price so more Aussies can live comfortable lives.
We also help developers make sustainable and cost-effective energy solutions part of the DNA of new projects from the get-go. Because a sustainable future is not just an option; it’s a must!
For our residents in our Community Energy Networks, our commitment to cleaner and cost-efficient solutions is at the forefront. We invest Super fund money in technology that will produce environmental and efficiency benefits for years to come.

Two Become One
In 2021, Energy Locals and Energy Trade joined forces under the Energy Locals brand, bringing even better solutions and value to Australians. Both companies shared similar goals and values, making this a perfect match:
Helping customers access renewable power where they live and work without having to pay for it up front.
A shared commitment to innovation (e.g., we are part of the largest Virtual Power Plant of its kind in Australia).
Providing fantastic value to customers.
Valuing excellent customer service.
Driving a cleaner, greener future for all.
Challenging the status quo, especially with respect to transparency and fairness for customers in the energy market.
