Useful electricity price tips include comparing your current plan with offers on the Australian Government’s Energy Made Easy website and checking both usage rates and daily supply charges. Ask your retailer whether a time-of-use, controlled-load or other tariff could suit how your household uses electricity, but check the rates carefully before switching. Reducing heating and cooling use, sealing draughts and running appliances during cheaper periods may also help, depending on your plan. If you receive a concession, check your state or territory government’s eligibility rules and application process.
