Energy plans / Understand your options

The right plan belongs with the right system.

Look at the complete bill, your equipment and the conditions. One attractive rate rarely tells the whole story.

Start a personalised review with your postcode, current bill, meter details and any solar or battery equipment. Availability must be checked for your property.

01 / What matters

Understand what you’re paying for.

Bills include supply and usage charges. Time-of-use rates vary by period, and some bills include demand charges. Compare all applicable costs, fees and credits.

Ask before you decide“What would this plan cost over a year using my actual usage?”

02 / What matters

Separate the retailer from the network.

Ask which retailer offer is being compared and which local network and meter conditions apply. A retailer change is not a promise of a new physical connection or export limit.

Ask before you decide“Is this offer available for my meter and address?”

03 / What matters

Understand variable-price exposure.

Amber passes through wholesale-related costs. Prices and export value can vary; equipment control and your flexibility matter. Review current pricing, fees and protections before joining.

Ask before you decide“What happens when import prices spike or export rates are negative?”

04 / What matters

A VPP has its own conditions.

Read who can control your battery, what reserve remains, how rewards work and how to leave. AGL publishes participation information; other programs have their own rules.

Ask before you decide“Is this exact battery eligible, and how does participation affect my backup priorities?”

05 / What matters

A feed-in rate is not the whole bill.

Check export eligibility alongside import charges and daily supply costs. Red Energy publishes feed-in conditions; use the offer for your location rather than a headline rate.

Ask before you decide“Would a lower export rate still mean a lower total bill?”

Explore the providers

A starting point, not a ranking.

These are official information links, not a whole-market comparison or an indication of partnership. Prices and eligibility must be checked for your property.
