Australia has a deregulated energy market in South-East Queensland, New South Wales, Victoria, South Australia, Tasmania and the ACT. GoSwitch understands supply charges from distributors such as the Energex Network, and usage rates from well-known retailers such as EnergyAustralia, Alinta Energy, 1st Energy, GloBird Energy, Ovo Energy, Momentum Energy, and Dodo. Here are some energy plan billing basics to consider before making a switch in Qld, NSW, Vic and other Australian regions.
Pricing:
Gold Coast electricity retailers offer promotional rates, discount rates, and special deals. A GoSwitch search will also reveal peak, shoulder, and off-peak rates offered by competing retailers.
Fees & Charges:
These can include early cancellation fees (exit fees), GST, card payment fees, and other charges associated with your contract.
Contract type:
You can have a lock-in or no-lock-in contract. Your contract may include a fixed-price period, sign-up incentive, zero exit fees, and other features that offer flexibility.

Use a bill payment method that suits your style. Choose your bill frequency, plus paper or electronic bills, and direct debit bill credit so you can keep track of finances.
