Energy Comparison: Giving Aussies A Fair Go

energy comparison

Not-so-fun fact: Australia is one of the world’s most expensive energy markets. The average gas bill is almost $1,000 a year. The average electricity bill for a 4-person home? A whopping $1,900. So, you want to save hundreds of dollars on utilities every year? It’s worth looking into energy comparison and how your bills can be better than average – by a long shot!

You might be wondering how Australian energy prices got into this mess in the first place. Well, most Aussie states are deregulated energy markets, which should (hypothetically) bring prices down. But according to a damning ACCC report released in 2018, it hasn’t turned out like that. They described the national energy market as uncompetitive and unaffordable. Since then, things have got (a bit) better. Wholesale energy prices are down, so energy retailers save money and can pass those savings onto consumers. And the Aussie government is taking a “big stick” approach to preventing monopolistic behaviour.

But change takes time, and it takes proactivity on your part. In most states/territories, there’s a whole lotta different energy providers, offering heaps of different plans. But an estimated 40% of bill payers haven’t explored what the competition is offering. Switching providers can save you hundreds, and also help create an environment that pressures energy providers to offer fair prices. As consumers, energy comparison lets us be part of the solution. (Huzzah!)

So, how do we go about it? Sounds time-consuming right? It doesn’t have to be!
