    How we calculate these estimates

    Data in this guide is sourced from publicly available regulatory and industry datasets.

    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.

    Data sources

    • AER Default Market Offer (DMO) reference pricing
    • ESC Victorian Default Offer (VDO) benchmarks
    • Distributor zone boundary data
    • Published retailer plan information

    These are indicative estimates only. Your actual bill depends on your specific plan, usage patterns, and applicable discounts. Read our full methodology.
