Figures are each retailer's cheapest qualifying single-rate market plan from Consumer Data Right plan data, costed at the AER/ESC benchmark usage for the zone and compared against the reference price. Actual plan rates vary by postcode.
Estimated costs can vary by usage, tariff type, retailer, distributor, and address. Both supply charges (the daily fixed cost of being connected) and usage rates (c/kWh) affect your total bill. Solar feed-in tariffs vary by retailer and plan. Always review plan details, fees, and conditions before switching.
