Rates shown include GST and all available discounts.
Plan rates are variable and future rates may be subject to change by the Retailer - except where plan rates are stated as fixed in the Basic Plan Information Document/Energy Price Fact Sheets.
Plans are updated each weekday from the Retailer's Basic Plan Information Documents/Energy Price Fact Sheets (except plans for WA and NT).
^ Daily Charge includes the daily supply charge and the per day value of recurring fees or credits (eg. membership fees, VPP credits etc).
  * Reference Price Discount refers to the discount off the annual cost of the Default Market Offer (DMO) for NSW, QLD and SA or Victorian Default Offer (VDO) or ActewAGL Standing offer for ACT for a small business without controlled load. The DMO is calculated based on an annual usage of 10,000kWh in NSW, QLD and SA. In Victoria, ACT and Tasmania, the Default Offer is calculated based on an annual usage of 20,000kWh.
The DMO and VDO Reference Price is a guide (provided by the AER and ESC) and does not take into account solar export nor a property's actual annual usage or when that usage occurs (for Time Of Use plans). 
For plans with a demand tariff, the reference price discount calculated by WATTever includes a demand charge that assumes a peak demand of 25% of the daily benchmark electricity consumption.
** The Reference Price Discount shown for partner retailers includes the value of exclusive benefits available when switching through wattever.com.au including Prezzee eGift cards from WATTever and additional upfront/recurring credits from partner retailers.
