Electricity prices usually include a daily supply charge and a usage rate, often measured in cents per kilowatt-hour. Your bill can also be affected by the tariff type, time-of-use rates, controlled loads, discounts, concessions and seasonal usage. Compare plans using your estimated annual cost and check the contract terms, exit fees and how discounts are applied, rather than focusing only on the headline rate. Energy Made Easy can help compare offers in many parts of Australia, while your state or territory government can explain available concessions.
