About Us

Who are
Energy Locals

Energy Locals is proudly Australian 100% owned and operated.

Our values, service, and products and services differentiate us from typical energy companies.

Aside from delivering cost-effective energy, we’re passionate about transparency, our Australian-based customer-service, technology and the environment. We have a social conscience too.

We are more than just an energy retailer providing sustainable cost-effective energy to residents in the “traditional” energy (grid) market, or offering expertise, products and services to developers to allow them to deliver infrastructure such as Community Energy Networks, so that their customers can enjoy even greater flexibility and cost-effectiveness while reducing their reliance on the grid and enjoying greener energy.

Our goal is to enable residential, commercial and business customers to use as much clean energy as they need to live comfortable lives at a great value price they can control.

Whether you are a resident looking for a better energy plan or a developer wanting to partner with us to deliver innovative energy solutions for your customers, we can help.
The company was founded in 2016 by Adrian Merrick, who has a decade-and-a-half’s experience running energy retail operations. Having worked for large energy companies, Adrian had a strong desire to use his experience to make energy cheaper, cleaner and fairer.

In 2021, Energy Locals merged with Energy Trade under the Energy Locals brand.
