Compare Electricity Rates in Sydney

Sydney energy users are spoilt for retailer choices. The options can become confusing, but it is 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 reviewing 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, it could be time to make a switch.

Sydney is a big city, and consumers expect good deals from energy providers. The deregulated energy market has opened up opportunities for new electricity retailers such as Red Energy, Endeavour Energy, and Essential Energy to enter the market alongside established companies such as Energy Australia, AGL, and Dodo. Customers can also choose to accept the default market 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 can be adapted to your basic plan information.

• 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
• Solar feed-in tariffs for selling energy back to the grid
• Renewable energy initiatives for carbon-neutral power use

It only takes a few minutes to find some of the best electricity deals in your area. A GoSwitch comparison tool search can save you time and money. Here’s how it’s done.

• Enter your postcode into the GoSwitch comparison tool
• Enter if you are using solar panels
• State your preference for electricity, gas, or a bundle electricity/gas deal

With so much to consider from competing retailers, price comparison can get complex and confusing. Contract features, incentives, and charges all affect your total energy bill, and here are some contract features that can be fine-tuned with GoSwitch assistance.

• Supply charges from distributors such as Ausgrid

A price comparison search will help you understand the many ways you can save on your home or business electricity bill. Whether you are in Sydney, regional NSW, Qld, Vic, South Australia, Tasmania, or the ACT, we can help you save money on energy bills. 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 deals, 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.

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.

The pricing structure of your plan can be changed by taking advantage of charges and incentives. GoSwitch will show you how to compare gas and electricity deals in Sydney.
