When comparing energy plans in Wollongong, look beyond the advertised discount and check the usage rates, daily supply charge, contract terms and any exit fees. If you have solar, compare feed-in tariffs, export limits and whether the plan’s rates suit your household’s usage pattern. The Australian Government’s Energy Made Easy website lets you compare available offers using your postcode and estimated electricity use. Your actual costs will depend on your home, usage and the plan you choose, so check the retailer’s current offer and consider speaking with them before switching.
