    Energy costs – What to look out for

    Energy usage costs (tariffs) are a combination of fixed daily supply charges and variable usage charges. Some of these charges can be adapted to suit your home and lifestyle. Options include:

    • Single rate tariffs where the kWh rate remains the same 24/7
    • Time of use tariffs (peak, shoulder, off-peak)
    • Controlled load tariffs for stand-alone appliances such as hot water cylinders

    In addition, electricity retailers offer new customers special introductory deals with usage rates well below the reference price.

    Queensland Electricity Usage

    Electricity usage is measured in kW/h (kilowatts per hour). There are two main factors that determine costs for residential and small business customers:

    Electricity Usage: The amount of energy used by a property is dependent on factors such as the type of appliances you use, how often you use them, and their energy efficiency.

    Electricity Prices: The kW/h price you pay for power is the other major factor influencing energy costs. A good deal on electricity kW/h will naturally result in your household getting a better energy deal.

    The power is in your hands to find a better basic plan or tailored deal with GoSwitch.

    Important Energy Plan Information

    If you are looking for a better Qld electricity deal, it’s worth comparing new energy plans with your current plan. Your recent electricity bill will provide information such as:

    Pricing: This can include promotional discount rates, direct debit savings, peak and off-peak rates, and much more.

    Fees & Charges: These include early exit fees, credit card payment fees, and other one-off or ongoing fees.

    Contract type: Incentives may include a fixed-price promotion rate, zero exit fees and other money saving features.
