What affects an electricity bill for households and how can we find a cheaper plan?

A WattWise Team Answered by

An electricity bill for households usually includes daily supply charges, usage charges, tariffs, government charges and any discounts or concessions. Costs vary with household energy use, the property, location, billing period and the retailer’s plan. Compare available offers through the government’s Energy Made Easy website, and check whether your household qualifies for a state or territory concession. Before switching, compare estimated annual costs and conditions, as the cheapest option depends on your circumstances.
