Is the comparison impartial?

We rank plans on the criteria you choose, such as price. We earn a commission if you switch through us and we compare a panel rather than the whole market, both of which we disclose. The government's free Energy Made Easy site shows every plan in your area. See our Methodology page for details.

What information do I need to compare?

Ideally, have a recent energy bill handy. At a minimum, your postcode is required to fetch local rates.

Will I lose power when I switch?

Absolutely not. The physical infrastructure remains the same. The switch happens seamlessly in the background.

Understanding Your Options

We compare plans based on the reference price set by the Australian Energy Regulator (AER). This ensures an apples-to-apples comparison regardless of how retailers structure their discounts or daily supply charges.

Did you know?

The "Reference Price" is a safety-net benchmark set by the government. Retailers must legally show you how their plan compares as a percentage less (or more) than this price, stopping sneaky advertising.

How we make money

EnergyPlans.com.au may receive a commission if you switch through our comparison partner. This does not change the price you pay, but it may influence which plans are available through our service. We do not compare every plan in the market.

Our editorial content, methodology, and benchmark data are independent of any commercial relationship. Always review plan details, including any fees or conditions, before switching. How we make money.
