What should I include in an electricity price checklist before switching energy plans?

A WattWise Team Answered by

An electricity price checklist should cover the usage rate, daily supply charge, estimated annual cost, tariff type and any controlled-load or solar feed-in rates. Check whether discounts are conditional, how long they last, and whether the plan includes exit fees, late-payment fees or other charges. Compare the estimate with your recent bills and confirm the contract terms, renewable energy options and available payment assistance. In Australia, you can compare offers through the government’s Energy Made Easy website, then confirm the final details with the retailer before switching.
