What is the average electricity price in Melbourne and how can I find a cheaper plan?

A WattWise Team Answered by

Electricity prices in Melbourne vary by retailer, distribution zone, tariff, household usage and whether you have solar. Plans usually combine a daily supply charge with a usage rate per kilowatt-hour, while the Victorian Default Offer provides a regulated reference price for eligible customers. For an up-to-date comparison, enter your postcode and recent bill details into the Victorian Government’s Victorian Energy Compare service. Check the estimated annual cost, rates, discounts and contract conditions, and contact the retailer directly to confirm any offer before switching.
