Compare the usage rates, daily supply charge and tariff structure, rather than focusing only on advertised discounts. Check whether discounts are conditional, how long they last, contract or exit fees, payment requirements, and any fees for paper bills or late payments. Use your recent bill to compare estimated annual costs, and include solar feed-in tariffs, controlled-load rates or concessions if they apply to you. Energy Made Easy can help households in many states compare plans, while Victorian customers can use Victorian Energy Compare; confirm the final offer and terms with the retailer.
