Household electricity prices in Australia vary by state or territory, retailer, tariff, usage and whether the home has solar. Bills usually include a daily supply charge plus a usage rate, measured in cents per kilowatt-hour, with peak, off-peak and time-of-use rates affecting the total. In some areas, the Default Market Offer or Victorian Default Offer provides a reference price, but your actual bill may differ. Compare current plans through the government’s Energy Made Easy website, or check your retailer’s fact sheet for estimated annual costs.
