How much could you save by switching?
According to the Australian Energy Regulator in September 2023, average households in the United Energy network could save $568 on electricity a year by switching from the standard offer to the cheapest available market deal. In late 2023, the ACCC analysed the prices paid by over 5 million residential customers across Australia. The consumer watchdog discovered nearly half of residential customers in Victoria were on plans with an annual cost equal to or higher than the Victorian Default Offer. Why stay stuck on an expensive plan?
