About Pacific Blue
Pacific Blue is one of Australia's longest-established pure-play renewable energy companies, generating electricity exclusively from wind, solar, and hydro since 1992. It operates as both a generator and retailer — its retail arm trades as Tango Energy and Pacific Blue Retail, serving over 180,000 customers with simple, no-frills electricity plans. Tango's Tango Blue plan is a 100 percent GreenPower-accredited product. The company also runs a Sustainable Community Fund that has distributed over 5 million dollars to regional community projects. Best suited for customers who want their retailer to also be a genuine renewable energy generator, and those seeking straightforward plans backed by a company with deep generation infrastructure rather than marketing claims alone.
