What should I look for in an energy comparison guide before switching electricity or gas plans?

A WattWise Team Answered by

An energy comparison guide can help you compare estimated annual costs, usage rates, daily supply charges, tariffs, discounts and contract conditions. Check whether discounts are conditional, such as requiring direct debit or on-time payments, and confirm how prices may change after an introductory period. Your best option can depend on your address, household usage, solar system, meter type and any concession or hardship support you receive. Compare current offers through an independent service or the official Energy Made Easy website, then confirm the final rates and terms with the retailer.
