Your electricity bill in 2026 will depend on your state or territory, energy use, tariff, solar or battery arrangements, and any prices or discounts set by your retailer. Check your bill for usage, daily supply charges, peak rates and the discounts you actually received, then compare plans using Energy Made Easy or Victorian Energy Compare if you live in Victoria. You may also be eligible for a government concession or rebate, but Services Australia or your state government decides this based on your circumstances. Contact your retailer if you are struggling to pay or need a hardship plan.
