How We Compare Electricity Plans

Start With Comparable Inputs

Electricity offers vary by address, meter, tariff and household profile. We compare offers only after fixing the same inputs for each option.

1. Supply address — Availability and network charges depend on the property.
2. Usage profile — Use the same annual consumption and time-of-use pattern.
3. Meter and solar profile — Match tariff type, controlled load and import/export assumptions.
4. Comparison date — Record when each offer document and estimate was checked.

Evidence We Record

We use current retailer offer documents and official government comparators where available. A page snapshot is not treated as a permanent quote.

• Offer identity — Retailer, plan name, offer ID, distribution zone and eligibility.
• Estimated annual cost — Calculated for the fixed household profile.
• Charges — Usage, supply, demand, controlled-load and solar export rates.
• Conditions — Discounts, fees, payment rules, benefit periods and price-change terms.
• Source trail — Official URL, document date and the date we checked it.

No Universal Winner or Numeric Score

We do not assign a retailer score or name a universal winner without a retained, reproducible evidence set. The lowest estimated annual cost for one address can change with usage, meter configuration, solar exports, eligibility and updated offer terms. Re-run the comparison for your own address before switching.

Editorial Boundaries

• General information and estimates are not a retailer quote or personal financial advice.
• We distinguish official offer evidence from editorial explanation and worked examples.
• Advertising or affiliate revenue does not create a ranking or recommendation.
• Corrections should update visible copy, metadata and structured data together.
• Revenue sources and commercial relationships are described on our Disclosure page.
