Take Control of Your
Electricity Bill in Sydney

Sydney energy users are spoilt for retailer choices. The options can become confusing, but it’s important to partner with an electricity provider who delivers the right energy plan for your household or business. Fortunately, with GoSwitch you can compare energy plan details and compare electricity prices online from the comfort of your own home before making a decision.

Start by comparing your current energy deal with other available market deals. At GoSwitch, we recommend you revisit your energy contract annually to compare deals and take advantage of better electricity and gas prices. If you find a better value deal from a new provider, it could be time to switch energy prices with GoSwitch.

Sydney is a big city, and consumers expect competitive energy deals. The deregulated energy market has opened up opportunities for new electricity retailers such as Red Energy, Endeavour Energy, 1st Energy, and Engie to enter the market alongside established companies such as Energy Australia, AGL, Origin Energy, and Dodo. Customers can also choose to accept the default market offer, sometimes called the reference price or standing offer. Every retailer offers contract incentives and features, but first, you should understand tariffs.

Tariffs are electricity and gas charges. These include regional supply charges from major electricity and gas distributors such as the Ausgrid network, plus retailer user charges for power used at your home or business. The Australian Energy Regulator (AER) is responsible for overseeing electricity and gas market prices in Australia. Here are some tariffs and charges that may be included in your energy deal.

• kWh electricity supply charges
• Single rate tariff 24/7
• Time of use tariffs for peak, shoulder, and off-peak energy usage
• Controlled load tariffs for stand-alone appliances such as hot water cylinders
• Solar feed-in tariffs for selling energy back to the grid

The cost of power is attributed to two types of charges: daily supply charges and usage charges. These charges make up the majority of your power bill.

Daily Supply Charges are governed by electricity distribution networks.

Usage Charges are billed according to the amount of energy you use, and how you use it.

A price comparison search will help you understand supply and usage charges plus many other ways you can save on your home or small business electricity bill in Sydney, regional NSW, Qld, Vic, South Australia, Tasmania, or the ACT. A typical electricity bill will consist of:

Contract term: Choose a fixed contract term or no lock-in contract.

Cooling-off period: Electricity retailers are obligated to provide a 10-day cooling-off period.

Terms and conditions: Retailer terms and conditions vary, with savings to be found.

Eligibility: This is important for gas plans, as natural gas may not be available at your address.

Contract incentives: There are loads of incentives and discounts that GoSwitch will find.

Contract updates: Your retailer should be contactable online, over the phone or by mail.
