Frequently Asked Questions
How much can I save by switching?
$200-400/year on average. Some households save $500+ by switching from a standing offer to the cheapest market offer.
How long does switching take?
2-5 business days. No power interruption. Your new retailer handles everything.
Standing offer vs market offer?
Standing offers are default plans with government-capped maximum prices. Market offers are typically 10-30% cheaper.
Will I lose power during the switch?
No. Electricity supply is never interrupted. The switch happens between retailers behind the scenes.
Are there exit fees?
Most market offers have no exit fees. Fixed contracts may charge $20-75 for early termination.
What's a feed-in tariff?
The rate your retailer pays you for solar energy you export to the grid. 5-12¢/kWh typical. Higher is better for solar homes.
