Use the Default Market Offer (DMO) as a reference price, not necessarily the cheapest option available. Compare plans using your estimated annual usage and check the retailer’s estimated yearly cost, daily supply charge, usage rates and any conditional discounts. Read the offer details carefully for rates that change after an introductory period, exit fees, payment conditions and solar feed-in terms. Compare offers through the Australian Energy Regulator’s Energy Made Easy website where available, and check whether concessions or hardship support may affect your bill.
