Electricity Connection Victoria

At GoSwitch, we show you available electricity and gas plans for your postcode. We partner with some of Australia’s leading energy retailers so you can refine your plan in ways that include:

• Comparing the benefits of competing electricity and gas plans
• Choosing a bundle gas & electricity deal
• Including solar power feed-in tariffs
• Including internet or phone services with a bundle deal

This is just the start with GoSwitch. We aim to make energy affordable for you, and we look for every opportunity to save on power bills.

Smart meters have several advantages for homeowners and renters.

• Adapt energy usage according to smart meter readings
• Send power usage information directly to your retailer in real-time

There are lots of competing electricity service providers in the deregulated Victorian marketplace. Fortunately, GoSwitch partners with well known and highly regarded electricity retailers and energy providers that Australians trust.

A GoSwitch price comparison search takes only a few minutes and will uncover competitive electricity plans and gas plans for your postcode. GoSwitch Victorian retail partners include:

If possible, arrange your new electricity connection in advance. Choose the day before you’re due to move in as the connection date so you have power on as soon as you move in. However, things don’t always go according to plan, and you may need an urgent power connection.

GoSwitch partners with retailers that can connect power next business day if required. Let your retailer (or GoSwitch representative) know before 1 pm, and you can be connected the following day (excluding public holidays). There may be an urgent connection fee included, so speak to your retailer regarding new connection fees and tariffs.

Electricity supply and distribution is deregulated in Victoria, although the industry is overseen by the Victorian Government. Independent retailers strike deals with distribution networks and electrical contractors to deliver the best possible prices to customers.

GoSwitch can find great electricity and gas deals for you. We do the math for you, and the savings are all yours to keep. Australians are switching service providers with GoSwitch and saving money on gas and electricity bills.

Australians move often and expect a good deal and fair price. GoSwitch constantly monitors energy rates in New South Wales, Victoria, Queensland, South Australia, Tasmania, and the ACT, so we can present the best available offers to you in real-time.

If you are struggling to keep up with rising energy costs, GoSwitch can assist. Our service is 100% free to use and the savings are all yours to keep. Here are a few more ways to cut costs on electricity rates.

• Government energy incentives and discounts (rebates), such as the low-income rebate.
• One-off government energy relief concessions for vulnerable people.
• Solar feed-in tariffs and government incentives for the installation of solar panels.

Many electricity distributors also provide natural gas. In fact, you can save money with an electricity & gas bundle deal. Enjoy the best of both power sources at affordable rates. You can combine:

• electricity + gas
• electricity + gas + broadband
• electricity + gas + broadband + home phone
