How can I use an electricity price guide to compare energy plans in Australia?

A WattWise Team Answered by

An electricity price guide can help you compare estimated annual costs, usage rates, daily supply charges and any discounts or fees between plans. In most states and territories, the government’s Energy Made Easy website lets you compare offers using your postcode and household usage; Victorian households can use Victorian Energy Compare. Check whether the estimate reflects your actual consumption and billing frequency, rather than relying only on a headline discount. Prices and available plans can change, so confirm the current offer, terms and estimated cost with the retailer before switching.
