GloBird Energy’s commitment to innovation has been recognised by WeMoney
Over the years, we’ve been excited to share details of several new energy plans that the GloBird Energy team has developed specifically to meet the needs of a growing sector of consumers, as the energy landscape changes.
It’s extremely gratifying to know that we’ve hit the mark with a new plan when a significant number of people see what it offers, weigh up whether it suits their needs, and then sign up.
Sometimes, the industry also reinforces that we’re getting it right, which happened just a few months ago when WeMoney named Globird the Best Value Electricity & Gas Retailer 2026.
We’re thrilled to share that WeMoney recently also awarded our ZEROHERO plan as the Most Innovative Plan 2026.
Over the past decade, GloBird Energy has consistently been recognised by Australia’s leading comparison sites, picking up awards not just from WeMoney, but from Finder, Canstar and Mozo as well.
Being called “award-winning” is one thing, but doing it consistently, across multiple independent judges, for ten years, is something our entire team is really proud of.
Why ZEROHERO deserves the “innovation” tag
We built ZEROHERO because we saw a problem worth solving. With more solar in the grid than ever, energy is often worth less around the middle of the day, but far more valuable during the evening peak.
If you’ve got a home battery, that price gap is an opportunity, but only if your battery is set up to make the most of it.
ZEROHERO is designed to do exactly that, with the least fuss possible. The plan brings together a few smart features:
- ZeroCharge: Pay nothing to charge your battery during the day on standard energy circuits, so you’re topping up when power is cheapest.
- ZeroHero credits: Get paid $1 a day for drawing next to zero power from the grid during the evening peak.
- ZeroWastedSolar: Earn more for the solar you export, with rates that lift during the evening peak, plus a bonus Super Export Credit on top.
- ZEROLIMITS: An optional add-on that boosts your export earnings further during critical wholesale events.
Put together, it’s a plan that rewards customers for doing what’s already good for the grid: shifting usage to the middle of the day and easing pressure during the evening peak.
That’s the kind of innovation the judges recognised, and it’s exactly the kind of product we want to keep building.
A decade of being told we’re doing it right
Winning one award is nice. Winning awards from four different comparison sites, year after year, for ten years, tells us something more: that we’re consistently building products that genuinely work in our customers’ favour, not just plans that look good on paper for a single judging cycle.
That consistency doesn’t happen by accident. It comes from a team that’s constantly looking at how the energy market is changing.
Whether that’s the rise of home batteries, the shift in solar feed-in value throughout the day, or new government rebates like the Cheaper Home Batteries Program, our team quickly starts considering how we can turn those changes into real value for the households we serve.
What “award-winning” actually means to us
We could talk about “award-winning” as a badge to put on our website, and sure, we’re not shy about mentioning it. But what it really represents to us is validation.
It tells us that when we look at a shifting energy landscape and ask, “how do we make this work better for our customers?”, we’re landing on answers that hold up to outside scrutiny, not just our own opinion of our work.
So, thank you to WeMoney for this year’s recognition. We hope we can keep impressing your judges and analysts by hitting the mark long into the future.
Most of all, thank you to every GloBird customer who’s put their trust in a plan like ZEROHERO. Awards are nice, but customers choosing to stay with us is the metric that matters most.
