Why is my power bill in Hobart so high and how can I compare cheaper options?

A WattWise Team Answered by

A Hobart electricity bill usually includes the energy you used, a daily supply charge, your tariff and any applicable concessions. Check the bill’s meter readings, billing dates and kilowatt-hours first, then ask your retailer whether a different tariff or payment plan could suit your household. TasNetworks operates the local electricity network, while your retailer issues the bill and sets the retail offer. You can compare available plans through the Australian Government’s Energy Made Easy website, and check Tasmanian Government concession eligibility if you hold an eligible card.
