Energy comparison means reviewing electricity plans by looking at usage rates, daily supply charges, discounts, contract terms and any exit fees. Check your latest bill for your household’s actual usage, and note whether you have solar, a controlled-load meter or other features that affect pricing. In Australia, the government’s Energy Made Easy website can compare available plans using your bill details, while some states use other comparison services. The plan that looks cheapest may not suit every household, so confirm the estimated costs and conditions with the retailer before switching.
