A useful energy comparison guide should help you compare estimated annual costs, usage rates, daily supply charges, discounts, contract terms and any exit fees. Check whether prices are based on your actual meter data and whether the plan suits your tariff, such as flat, time-of-use or controlled load. If you have solar, look at the feed-in tariff as well as electricity charges, rather than choosing on headline discounts alone. In some states and territories, Energy Made Easy or another official comparison service can provide personalised estimates, but the retailer ultimately confirms available plans and pricing.
