Your electricity price may have increased because of higher wholesale, network or environmental costs, a tariff change, or increased household usage. Check your bill for the usage rate, daily supply charge, discounts and any peak, off-peak or time-of-use pricing. You can compare available plans in your area using the Australian Government’s Energy Made Easy website, which also shows an estimate based on your usage. The retailer can explain changes to your plan, but the best offer and estimated savings will depend on your circumstances and actual consumption.
