    Article No. 8115 Available on www.roymorgan.com Link to Roy Morgan Profiles Friday, 30 August 2019 Powershop still number one in electricity satisfaction, despite losing spark in recent months Powershop has won the Roy Morgan Electricity Provider of the Month Award with a customer satisfaction rating of 78% for July 2019. Powershop has now won the past seven monthly awards, remaining unbeaten in 2019. Powershop’s customer satisfaction rating of 78% was followed by Lumo Energy (71%), Simply Energy (70%), Click Energy (70%), Red Energy (70%) and Alinta Energy (70%). E These are the latest findings from the Roy Morgan Single Source survey derived from in-depth face-to- face interviews with 1,000 Australians each week and over 50,000 each year. Powershop managed to maintain its number one position in customer satisfaction, despite it recording the largest decline in ratings of any leading provider, falling from 87% in January 2019, to 78% (-9%) as of July 2019. Over the same period, Lumo Energy, Simply Energy and Click Energy all fell by 4%, Red Energy remained steady, and Alinta Energy increased its rating by 1%. Although Powershop remains well clear of its competitors, if its consistent downtrend in ratings continues for the next few months, we may well see another electricity provider take the lead in customer satisfaction. The Roy Morgan Customer Satisfaction Awards highlight the winners but this is only the tip of the iceberg. Roy Morgan tracks customer satisfaction, engagement, loyalty, advocacy and NPS across a wide range of industries and brands. This data can be analysed by month for your brand and importantly your competitive set.

    Acknowledgements We would like to thank Monica Richter (World Wide Fund for Nature and the Science Based Targets Initiative), Anna Freeman (Clean Energy Council), and Ben Skinner and Rhys Thomas (Australian Energy Council) for kindly reviewing this report. We value the input from these reviewers but note the report’s findings and analysis are those of ClimateWorks Australia. We also thank the organisations listed for reviewing and providing feedback on information about their climate commitments and actions. This report is part of a series focusing on sectors within the Australian economy. Net Zero Momentum Tracker – an initiative of ClimateWorks Australia with the Monash Sustainable Development Institute – demonstrates progress towards net zero emissions in Australia. It brings together and evaluates climate action commitments made by Australian businesses, governments and other organisations across major sectors. Sector reports from the project to date include: property, banking, superannuation, local government, retail, transport, resources and energy. The companies assessed by the Net Zero Momentum Tracker represent 61 per cent of market capitalisation in the ASX200, and are accountable for 61 per cent of national emissions. Achieving net zero emissions prior to 2050 will be a key element of Australia’s obligations under the Paris Agreement on climate (UNFCCC 2015). The goal of the agreement is to limit global temperature rise to well below 2 degrees Celsius above pre-industrial levels and to strive for 1.5 degrees. 2 Overall, energy sector commitments are insufficient for Australia to achieve a Paris-aligned SUMMARY transition to net zero. Australia’s energy sector This report finds none of the companies assessed are fully aligned with the Paris climate goals, and must accelerate its pace of most fall well short of these.
