GoSwitch is a fast and easy way to compare energy plans. The entire process is performed online and only takes a few minutes, with the potential for big annual savings on electricity costs and power bills. Here’s how it works.

1. Make an energy usage profile for your home or small business. This should include your postcode, appliances, and peak and off-peak electricity usage during your billing cycle.
2. Compare the deals. The powerful GoSwitch price comparison search engine crunches the numbers and gets the results you are looking for.
3. Set up your new account. Once you have accepted an offer, GoSwitch will help you make a smooth transition to a cost-effective electricity deal totally free of charge.

In addition, the Queensland Government offers energy rebates to make electricity and gas more affordable for pensioners and those on lower incomes. Rebates available for pensioners and seniors in Brisbane, the Gold Coast, the Sunshine Coast, and regional Queensland include The Electricity Rebate and The Reticulated Natural Gas Rebate.

Nobody likes to pay more than they should for electricity or gas usage, and bill shock is a real thing. The good news is that there are lots of ways to shave money off Sunshine Coast power bills. A GoSwitch search will show you how in less than five minutes.

We compare offers from leading energy retailers all in one place, and you even get to speak with a call centre energy expert who can answer your questions for a personalised energy plan. There’s a lot to consider, such as:

• Flexible tariffs for peak, shoulder, and off-peak energy use
• Time-of-use tariffs
• Flat rate standing offers
• Solar feed-in tariffs
• Usage and supply charges
• Bundle deals for electricity, gas, solar power systems, and internet

Electricity plans tailored for the size of your household or business

Your electricity bill contains information about your energy plan and energy usage. Here is some information worth reviewing before you decide to switch plans.

• Contract term: Fixed term or no lock-in contract.
• Cooling-off period: Time to consider the deal and change your mind.
• Terms and conditions: Specific to each contract type.
• Eligibility: Company or service availability in your area.
• Contract length: This can include early exit fees if you cancel before the contract expiry date.
• Contract incentives: Joining bonus, direct debit payment bonus, pay on time discount, etc.
• Contract updates: Choose a company that keeps you in the loop with savings offers.

It is worth knowing that the average electricity bill on the Sunshine Coast only gives a hint of savings potential, as every household and small business is different, and energy use can include natural gas, LPG, and solar alongside electricity.

Electricity charges (tariffs) are usually a combination of fixed daily supply charges and variable usage charges. Daily supply charges are the cost of delivering electricity to your region by distributors such as Energex and Ergon Energy. Usage charges are the retailer tariffs for the electricity you use. Here are some peak and off-peak tariffs and savings opportunities.

Single-rate electricity tariffs: With a single-rate tariff, the kW/h rate remains the same regardless of the time of day.

Time of use electricity tariffs: Variable kW/h rates adjust at different times of the day. These include peak hour rates, shoulder rates, and off-peak rates.

Controlled load tariffs: These rates apply to separately metered stand-alone appliances such as hot water cylinders, pool heaters, and some home heating systems.

In addition, electricity retailers in Noosa, Maroochydore, and other South-East Queensland regions offer contract discount incentives.

Conditional discounts: These discounts apply when conditions are met, such as on-time bill payment.

Guaranteed discounts: These discounts apply for part or all of the entire contract term, without additional conditions.
