In Victoria’s deregulated electricity market, energy providers are constantly innovating with new customer incentives. With a multitude of discounts, bundle deals, and special offers available, choosing the right one can be daunting. GoSwitch partners exclusively with Australia’s most reputable electricity retailers, ensuring you can trust your new energy deal. If you’re considering switching to a better contract or a new energy provider, GoSwitch is here to guide you. Consider asking these questions when discussing options with your GoSwitch energy expert:

• Are there incentives offered by my current Victorian electricity supplier?
• Do other suppliers/retailers offer incentives and discounts?
• Are there conditions attached to the incentives?
• Are the savings for the lifetime of the contract or just a portion?
• What happens when the incentives expire?
• Which plan offers more flexibility for Victorians?

Changes in the Victorian energy market have made new options available beyond the Victorian Government’s default market offer. Many people now use GoSwitch to find better electricity deals. Here’s why many Victorians are switching:

Moving to a New House: Get a plan that fits your new home perfectly.

The Discount Rate Expiry: It’s easy to switch providers with GoSwitch and avoid any exit fees when your current contract ends.

A Change in Preference: Your needs matter to us. We find energy companies that match your lifestyle.

A Bad Customer Service Experience: It’s important to have a reliable energy provider. We connect you with companies you can trust.

More than 12 Months with the Same Provider: Prices change. If you’ve been with one provider for over a year, check out your options to ensure you’re getting the best deal.

Monitoring your electricity use daily, weekly, monthly, and annually is a smart approach. If your energy consumption is higher than expected, it’s the right time to set up a GoSwitch energy profile. This can help you cut down on usage and find the best energy deals in Victoria. Our essential services extend beyond Victoria, with GoSwitch partners also operating in New South Wales (NSW), Queensland (QLD), South Australia, Tasmania, and the Australian Capital Territory (ACT), making it easier to manage your utilities during an interstate move.

With a pre-paid energy plan, you pay for your energy usage in advance. This arrangement typically estimates your future energy consumption based on past usage or the usage patterns of similar-sized households. If you consume less power than the estimated amount, the remaining balance can be carried over to your next billing period. Pre-paid energy plans include GST and are designed to prevent unexpected high costs, or ‘bill shock’, at the end of your billing cycle.

Electricity in Victoria is charged by the kilowatt per hour (kW/h). Retailers adjust their standing offer kW/h usage rates to attract new customers. Alongside these rates, electricity providers offer a wide range of discounts and incentives to make their plans more appealing. Conditional discounts are granted when specific conditions are met, such as paying your bill on time. Meanwhile, guaranteed discounts are applied for the entire term of the contract without the need for fulfilling additional conditions.
