Electricity rate increases over five years

Electricity rates have generally increased over recent years and many experts predict this will continue. New players continue to enter the market, but despite this, there is still price pressure on the average Australian household. One reason is because lots of Australian’s are on the standard default energy plan, and these are amongst the least competitive rates in the market. Luckily, GoSwitch users can often beat the ongoing rate rises, by switching to a more competitive plan, with higher discounts and incentives. So it is a worthwhile exercise to check in with us periodically and see if there is a better rate for you.

Does the price I pay affect the quality of my electricity?

Not at all. The actual supply of electricity is managed by your energy distributor, which is fixed according to where you live. Your energy retailer is the company responsible for determining how much you pay and sending your bills – if you switch to a new plan with another energy retailer, your supply remains exactly the same. If you want to know how the costs are calculated, we outline how electricity pricing works in Australia in this article.
