Comparing electricity plans is a different process depending on where you live in Australia. If you live in south-east Queensland, NSW, ACT, SA or Tasmania, it’s easy to compare plans through Savvy. In the NT, the state government sets the energy price, while WA has its own rules, as it isn’t a member of the National Electricity Market.
When comparing electricity plans, these are some of the variables to consider:
Cost of the plan
This should be detailed in the basic plan information document which is provided by your retailer or in other supplied written information they give you.
Tariffs
There are different ways of charging for electricity, which are reflected in the different types of tariff which are available:
Fees charged
There can be many different fees charged by retailers, which include:
Comparing the fees that are charged will help you clearly see who is charging the most fees for their service.
Benefit periods
Some electricity plans come with bonuses which are designed to attract new customers. However, just like a honeymoon period for a home loan, these benefits come to an end at some time. It’s worth considering how long the benefit period term is and what happens when it’s over.
Type of contract
There are two basic types of contract:
There are usually two charge rates to compare on gas plans:
Supply charge
This is a fixed amount you pay for your connection to the mains gas network. It’s usually measured in cents per day, although you may be given a total sum for the bill period (often 90 days or approximately three months). Your supply charge won’t change regardless of how much or little gas you use.
Usage rate charge
Natural gas is charged per megajoule (MJ) and is typically between 1.5 and 4.8 cents per MJ. Tariffs for gas are often sold in price blocks, so you pay a different (higher) rate for the first 100 MJ you use, and less for subsequent amounts.
On top of these rates, you should also compare the following aspects of gas plans:
Discounts
You can also consider the energy discounts you may be offered by a particular provider. These can include:
Fees
Also, compare the fees your gas company may charge you. These may include:
When comparing solar plans, the most important element to consider is the feed-in tariff (FiT) you’ll receive. This is the amount of money you earn from the electricity your solar panels generate (assuming you’re connected to the national energy grid). The tariff is also known as a ‘buy back rate’ or ‘solar tariff’ and is expressed in cents per kilowatt hour (kWh). It varies according to:
There are various types of feed-in tariffs available depending on which state you live in. For example, in Victoria there are variable feed-in tariffs which pay more for electricity generated during peak hours than they do for power generated during off-peak times.
You can compare solar plans and FiTs here through Savvy by uploading your e-bill or entering your address to check which other energy companies in your area might be able to offer a better deal on your solar generation.
