Every energy plan, as published.
Retailers must publish every electricity and gas plan they sell, with its supply charge, usage rates, feed-in tariff, discounts and contract terms, through the Consumer Data Right.

All retailersThree numbers decide most bills
Supply charge
A fixed amount per day for being connected, whatever you use. It dominates for low-usage homes, so a plan with a cheap usage rate can still lose on supply.
Usage rate
What each kilowatt hour or megajoule costs. Single rate plans charge one price; time-of-use plans charge peak, shoulder and off-peak prices, and some add a demand charge on your highest half hour.
Discounts and feed-in
Pay-on-time and direct debit discounts come off the bill, guaranteed discounts always apply, and the feed-in tariff is what a retailer pays for solar you export. Check the benefit period and exit fee.
Questions about the data
- Where do the plans come from?
- Every energy retailer must publish every generic plan it sells through the Consumer Data Right. The Australian Energy Regulator's Energy Made Easy service holds that data for all retailers, and we read it in full every night.
- Why are prices per kilowatt hour or megajoule and not a bill?
- A plan is a tariff: a daily supply charge plus usage rates that may vary by time of day or season. What it costs you depends on your usage, so we show the published components and pair them with the bill optimiser to model your own consumption.
- Do the prices include GST?
- The standard publishes prices exclusive of GST unless the retailer says otherwise, and retailers are not consistent. Each plan page shows the figures as published and says so; add 10% when comparing with a bill.
- What is the difference between a market offer and a standing offer?
- Standing offers are the regulated default plans a retailer must provide, priced at or below the reference price. Market offers are the retailer's own plans, usually cheaper but with conditions or benefit periods. Explorers show market offers by default and let you switch.
- Why do plans differ by postcode?
- Network charges are set by the distributor that owns the poles and wires in your area, so retailers price each plan per distribution network. The state explorers group plans by state and show which network each applies to.
