How EnergyPlans.com.au makes money
We believe in being upfront about how we earn revenue. This page explains our business model so you can use our comparison tools with confidence.
Our commission model
EnergyPlans.com.au may receive a commission when you switch to an electricity or gas plan through our comparison partner. This is how we fund the operation of the website, including our research, data analysis, and comparison tools.
The commission does not change the price you pay. You pay the same rate whether you switch through our site or go directly to the retailer.
What this means for you
- 1Our comparison service is free for you to use. You do not pay us anything.
- 2We may not compare every plan available in the market. The plans shown through our comparison partner are limited to those available through that service.
- 3Our editorial content, benchmark data, state reports, and pricing analysis are produced independently and are not influenced by commercial relationships.
- 4You should always read the plan details, including the Basic Plan Information Document (BPID) or Energy Price Fact Sheet, before switching.
Our comparison partner
When you use our "Compare Plans" tool, you are directed to our comparison partner, Compare & Connect. They facilitate the plan comparison and switching process. The plans available through their service may differ from those you can find by visiting retailers directly.
We clearly label all links that lead to our comparison partner so you always know when you are leaving our editorial content and entering a commercial comparison service.
Our independence commitment
Our state reports, pricing analyses, suburb data, and editorial guides are produced independently. Commercial relationships do not determine which retailers appear in our data or how we present pricing information. Our methodology is documented publicly.
