Electricity prices vary by postcode, distributor, retailer, tariff type and how much energy your household uses. Compare available plans using the Australian Government’s Energy Made Easy website, or Victorian Energy Compare if you live in Victoria, and enter details from a recent bill for a more useful estimate. Check the daily supply charge, usage rates, discounts, contract terms and any exit fees—not just the advertised price. Your final costs depend on your circumstances and the retailer’s offer, so confirm the rates and conditions directly before switching.
