Understand the category
What actually drives value here
Electricity pricing in Australia depends heavily on your distribution zone and how much you use, which is why two households can pay very different amounts on the same plan. We compare plans against the relevant reference price so you can see value on a consistent basis rather than headline discounts.
Reference price, not spin
We compare each plan against the government reference price for your zone, so a '30% off' claim is measured from a consistent baseline.
Usage matters most
Your tariff type and daily supply charge often matter more than the headline rate. We flag the structure, not just the discount.
Green options flagged
Where a retailer offers accredited GreenPower or a solar feed-in worth comparing, we mark it clearly.
