    How we calculate these estimates

    Rate and bill estimates shown here are benchmark figures based on AER and ESC reference data, not retail quotes.

    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.

    • 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.
