Electricity travels vast distances before reaching its destination in Melbourne homes and businesses. Electricity is generated in power stations, then overseen by major state networks such as Powercor.

The electricity is then on-sold to localised retailers. There are many competing service providers in the deregulated Melbourne energy market, and a convenient GoSwitch search from the comfort of your own home will locate the best available deals. Our retail partners include:

Energy Australia: A well-known energy provider throughout South-East Australia.

AGL: Delivering gas, electricity, and telecommunications services for more than 130 years.

Dodo: A progressive electricity, gas, and internet services company.

OVO: Renewable energy comes standard, making carbon-neutral electricity a reality.

Sumo: No-lock-in contracts, lots of incentives, and proudly Australian owned.

Origin: A major Australian energy retailer with decades of experience.

Blue NRG: Tailored services to meet the needs of small and medium-sized businesses.

1st Energy: Delivering cost-effective power deals since 2014, and that’s just the start.

Prices in Victoria are overseen by the Essential Services Commission to maintain fair opportunity for all Melbourne energy retailers and customers.

The GoSwitch price comparison search tool can tailor the right energy deal for your home and lifestyle in a few easy steps.

1. Enter your postcode
2. Enter your use of solar panels for feed-in tariffs
3. State your preference for electricity or a bundle electricity/gas deal.
4. Select your property type
5. Select an energy usage profile for your household.

If you believe you can find a better energy provider and are considering switching to a new contract, GoSwitch can assist. We are in the business of finding better energy deals in Melbourne, Regional Victoria, New South Wales, Queensland, South Australia, and other states and territories, so you can use the GoSwitch service for your local or interstate move.

All energy contracts contain a number of charges (tariffs) fees, terms and conditions. Price comparison is complex when additional incentives are included. GoSwitch targets better electricity plans for people in Melbourne, Victoria, and other parts of Australia. Here are a few tariffs, charges, and fees to look out for.

• Supply charges from major electricity distributors
• Usage charges (peak, shoulder, off-peak) from local retailers
• Single rate tariffs 24/7
• Controlled load tariffs for stand-alone appliances
• Cost per kWh (kilowatt hour)
• Contract length, payment schedule, exit fees

A GoSwitch call centre expert is always available to answer questions and provide assistance. We take the hassle out of new connections, disconnections, and urgent connections by partnering with Australia’s leading energy retailers. Best of all, our service to you is 100% free. Additional ways to save money on electricity and gas bills include:

• Combining gas and electricity
• Renewable energy options
• State energy concessions
• Benefits of using Smart Meters

Moving to a new home or rental property is never easy. With GoSwitch, you can stick with your present electricity or gas retailer, or take advantage of the latest deals from competing retailers. At GoSwitch, we recommend fine-tuning your energy deal annually for maximum savings. Making the switch is easy, in a few simple steps:

1. Choose an energy plan for your current premises or new address
2. Choose renewable energy options if using solar panels
3. Factor in any state concessions you receive
4. Look for other savings features, such as a smart meter

Then let the GoSwitch energy price comparison tool work its magic. Within minutes, you have access to the latest energy deals and savings for your postcode. If you decide to make the switch to a better plan for your home or small business, all you need to do is:

• Sign up for your new electricity/gas account
• Inform your energy company where and when you are moving

GoSwitch retail partners can provide same-day urgent power connections also, although additional connection fees apply. It is generally best to give your retailer at least three business days notice of your move to ensure it all goes smoothly.

Instead of wading through plan information details, GoSwitch can do the search for you. Retailers in Vic, NSW, Qld, and other Australian states all offer promotional rates, discount rates, peak and off-peak savings, pay-on-time discounts, and other incentives.

The Victorian Government default market offer is still available, although there are dozens of ways to save in a deregulated market, and GoSwitch will show you how. Here are some reasons to switch to a better plan and lower electricity bills.

Moving to a new house: You will need electricity or gas connection at your new address. Start saving from your first bill.

The discount rate expiry: Switching providers is straightforward with GoSwitch on your side. If the incentives attached to your deal have expired, it may be time to make a switch.

Bills that keep creeping up: Don’t pay too much for electricity. Take contract features and incentives into consideration for keeping energy provider bills down.

A change in preference: Choose an Australian owned and operated electricity or gas retailer. For an environmentally conscious power choice, switch to a company that offers carbon-neutral power options.

A bad service experience: Connect with a company you can trust. We work with well known and highly regarded retailers.

More than 12 months with the same provider: Markets and prices are always changing. Review the service if you have been with your provider for 12 months or more.

Combine and save: Bundle your gas and electricity together. We even offer electricity + gas + broadband + home phone bundles.

Lower your energy bill using our free service. GoSwitch earns a commission from energy retailers for establishing new contracts, and the savings are all yours to keep.
