For an energy comparison in Melbourne, compare the estimated annual cost using your actual electricity or gas usage, not just the advertised discount. Check usage rates, daily supply charges, contract conditions, exit fees, late-payment rules and whether prices can change. Victorian households can use the Victorian Energy Compare website to compare available electricity and gas offers, and your latest bill will help produce a more relevant estimate. Solar customers should also check feed-in tariffs and solar-specific conditions, while renters may need to confirm which utilities are included in their agreement.
