The default market offer (DMO) is a price cap and comparison benchmark set by the Australian Energy Regulator for standing electricity offers in some states, including NSW, South East Queensland and South Australia. Retailers use it as a reference price on bills and energy plans, often showing whether a deal is above or below the DMO reference price. It is not usually the cheapest option, as market offers may have lower rates or different conditions. Check the plan’s usage rates, supply charge and any discounts, and compare offers through Energy Made Easy.
