Average Fees shown. Fees are sourced from Basic Plan Information Documents and Energy Fact Sheets. Blank values reflect that a retailer does not publish fee on their fact sheets (for that network). For connection and disconnection charges where the retailer specifically states that they will not be charged, a value of $0 is entered reducing the average fee across a retailers plans.
Disclaimer: We review retailer sites at least weekly to ensure we have a complete set of plans for all retailers serving each electricity network to provide you with the widest choice. However, it is possible that we may not have all of the latest fact sheets for each retailer’s plans. You should always review the Terms and Conditions of any contract taken up with the retailer to ensure you have the latest information.
Founded from grass-roots action in the Northern Rivers of NSW, and based in sun soaked Byron Bay, pioneering electricity retailer Enova Energy has built a loyal following. Now the retailer has switched on its community-owned social enterprise energy across the state.
In the lead up to the NSW state election on March 23, both the opposition and government have announced huge schemes to support new rooftop solar for households, helping to reduce soaring energy bills.
Australia has just eclipsed two million solar rooftop systems. In Canberra, there may be confusion around energy policy. Everywhere else it’s clear that households are voting with their wallets on where they’ll find cheaper and cleaner electricity.
