Melbourne electricity prices vary by retailer, tariff, meter type, household usage and location, so there is no single typical rate. Your bill usually includes a daily supply charge plus usage charges in cents per kilowatt-hour, with peak, off-peak or controlled-load rates sometimes applying. The Victorian Default Offer provides a regulated reference price, but retailers may offer different discounts and conditions. Compare plans using the Victorian Government’s Victorian Energy Compare website, and check whether you qualify for Victorian energy concessions before switching.
