Why is my power bill in Hobart so high and what can I do to lower it?

A WattWise Team Answered by

A Hobart power bill depends on your electricity use, daily supply charge, tariff, meter type and the billing period, with heating often a major winter cost. Check the bill’s meter readings and compare recent usage, then ask your retailer whether a different tariff or payment option is available. Many Tasmanian households may be able to apply for an electricity concession, subject to the Tasmanian Government’s eligibility rules, so check the current requirements with Aurora Energy or the official government website. If you are struggling to pay, contact your retailer’s hardship team early to discuss available support.
