What should I look for when choosing an energy retailer?

A WattWise Team Answered by

Compare the retailer’s estimated annual cost for your address, including usage rates, supply charges, discounts, fees and any contract conditions. Check whether prices are fixed or can change, how hardship support works, and whether the offer suits your meter, solar system or payment preferences. In most of Australia, Energy Made Easy can help compare electricity and gas offers; Victorian households can use the Victorian Energy Compare website. Read the retailer’s energy price fact sheet and confirm current details directly with the retailer before switching.
