See transparent supply charges, usage rates, and solar feed-in tariffs before you switch. We track regulated price changes weekly so you always know where your household stands. Electricity prices and rebates vary significantly by state - use the guides below to find plans specific to your area.

Provider availability can vary by address, energy type, and plan eligibility.
Electricity bills are one of the largest recurring expenses in Australian homes. Retailers adjust rates in line with wholesale markets, meaning loyalty rarely pays off.
With compareus.com.au you see supply charges, demand tariffs, and conditional discounts upfront.
We highlight plans with flexible payment options, rewards programs, and clean energy add-ons so you can match a plan to your household lifestyle.
Comparing electricity on its own can miss bundle trade-offs, so it can also help to compare gas and electricity prices using the same bill and address.
Electricity prices, networks, and rebates vary by state. Select your state for local plans and deals.
We focus on the parts of electricity comparison that actually affect your bill: usage rates, supply charges, solar credits, and plan conditions.
Instead of pushing vague offers, we structure the information so you can compare providers faster and understand what changes from one plan to the next.
That means less guesswork, clearer switching decisions, and a comparison experience built around real household costs.

I was able to compare different options without having to jump between multiple websites. Compared a few electricity options and ended up finding a better deal than what I was currently on. The whole process was simple and didn't take long at all.

Controlled load tariffs apply to appliances like electric hot water systems that run overnight. They have lower usage rates but separate meters. Include them in your comparison so you understand the real blended cost.
Yes. The account holder can nominate any eligible retailer—just allow meter access for the final read and confirm the process with your property manager if required in the lease.
No. Switching changes the retailer that bills you, not the poles and wires. Once you sign up, the new provider handles the transfer with your distributor while your electricity stays on.
Every 6–12 months. Wholesale prices move frequently and introductory discounts expire, so setting a reminder before seasonal peaks helps keep your bills sharp.
