Is Powershop legit?
Legit, mixed reviewsPowershop is a real energy retailer built around an app for tracking usage and paying ahead, but a bill there can rest on an estimate instead of a real meter read. The app asks for your own readings to keep those estimates close, and without them the bill may not match what you used.
What we checked
- Part of Shell Energy Australia
- Brand founded in New Zealand, 2007
- Ratings on other review websites: 3/5
Watch out for
- A sign-up credit not yet on your bill, which the terms only apply 90 days after your account goes live.
- A message threatening to cut your power within 24 hours, something Powershop says it will never do.
- Usage in the free midday window on a Solar Sharer plan above the 24kWh daily cap, which can be billed later.
Powershop bill based on an estimated read?
We help you write it, it gets its own public page, and you can have it sent to Powershop as a formal letter.

How do I contact Powershop customer service?
The Powershop customer service number for home customers is 1800 462 668, and the team also takes email at info@powershop.com.au. Complaints have their own email address, listed in the contact details at the top of this page. The Powershop app shows your usage, bills and meter reads, so screenshot what you see there before you get in touch, and have your account number, the supply address and the bill in question ready.
Bill or balance that does not add up? Start your complaint here too: we push it out to Powershop by email, social media and printed letters.
Why is my Powershop bill higher than expected?
A Powershop bill that is higher than expected usually traces back to an estimated meter read, a rate change, a longer billing period, heavier heating or cooling use, or solar feed-in credits that did not appear. Compare the reading on the bill with your meter and with the usage shown in the Powershop app, check whether the read is marked as an estimate, and compare the rates with your plan details.
If you paid for power in advance, check that the prepaid amounts were applied to the bill. Ask Powershop in writing to review the bill, keep the reference for that request, and pay the part you agree with by the due date so the dispute stays on the amount you are challenging.
What can I do if the Powershop app is not working?
If the Powershop app will not load, will not let you log in or shows usage that looks wrong, try signing in on the Powershop website as well, and screenshot any error message with the date and time. Gaps in the usage graph often come from meter data reaching the retailer late, so note which dates are missing rather than assuming the usage was zero.
If you cannot see a bill or pay through the app, ask Powershop for a copy of the bill and another way to pay, and keep a note of the due date and of when you raised it, so a late payment is not held against you.
Is there an ombudsman for Powershop complaints?
Yes. Powershop belongs to the energy and water ombudsman scheme in each Australian state it sells in, and for Victorian electricity and gas customers that is the Energy and Water Ombudsman Victoria (EWOV), which covers billing, payment difficulty, disconnection, transfers and customer service. EWOV generally expects Powershop to have had the chance to put things right first, so keep a record of every chat, email and reference number.
Billing or disconnection dispute? Start it through our complaint process and our trained AI opens a case for you, coaching you on what to reply and when to push again.
