Can someone explain how my electricity price is worked out in Australia?

A WattWise Team Answered by

Your electricity price usually combines a daily supply charge with a usage rate for each kilowatt-hour (kWh) you consume. Your plan may also include different rates for peak, shoulder or off-peak periods, plus discounts, solar feed-in credits, government concessions and any applicable fees. The amount you pay depends on your meter data, tariff, billing period and retailer, so compare the rates and conditions on your bill or Energy Made Easy. Prices and available plans vary by location, and your retailer can explain how its rates apply to your account.
