Wollongong households can compare electricity plans through the Australian Government’s Energy Made Easy website, which uses your usage details to show available NSW offers. Check your bill for peak, off-peak and supply charges, then ask retailers whether a different tariff or payment arrangement may suit your home. Energy-efficient appliances, reducing heating and cooling use, and reviewing solar export settings can also help manage costs. If you are struggling to pay, contact your retailer early about hardship support and check whether you qualify for NSW energy assistance through the relevant government department.
