When comparing energy plans in Sydney, check the usage and supply rates, daily fees, discounts, contract conditions and any exit charges. Compare each offer with the NSW Default Market Offer reference price, but use your own recent bill or smart-meter data where possible because household usage can vary significantly. If you have solar, look at the feed-in tariff as well as import rates, and check whether controlled-load pricing applies to hot water. Energy Made Easy is the Australian Government comparison service, while the retailer can confirm the terms and estimated costs for your address.
