How do I choose an energy retailer in Brisbane and can I compare electricity plans before switching?

A WattWise Team Answered by

Brisbane households can compare electricity retailers and plans using the Australian Government’s Energy Made Easy website, which uses your location and usage details to estimate costs. Check the plan’s usage and supply rates, discounts, contract terms, exit fees, billing options and any solar feed-in tariff before signing up. In Brisbane, Energex generally manages the local electricity network, while your retailer handles billing and customer service. Confirm the final price, eligibility requirements and switching arrangements directly with the retailer, especially if you receive a concession or have solar.
