Hello,

Currently got my latest power bill, doubled in 1 month for only 27 day period. Am with Power shop for electricity only. Does anyone have anything to recommend and special promo?

Thanks!

  Lazy post. Needs to use a comparison website, like https://www.energymadeeasy.gov.au/

    Those sites just aren't accurate. I tried using them and they don't come back with up to date data before concluding I needed to do my own comparison.

      Same issue here, many of the top rated ones were flat out worse or only better in specific conditions.

  Make sure to claim the $70 - $100 on cashrewards for switching energy provider if you can.

    Thanks will definitely check this out. Might be worth it even though its still showing me Powershop to be the cheapest usage wise.

  I recently spent some time getting the data from the the top 10 green electricity providers ( https://greenelectricityguide.org.au/ ) in my area of NSW, Powershop came out the cheapest by about $30/quarter for me based on our actual time of day usage. We have standard sized, 10 year old solar panels on our roof.

  Quarterly actual costs for our usage if we used each provider.
  Powershop 249.4067
  Nectr 277.381
  Red 279.764
  CoPower 284.92
  Local Energy 294.34
  Diamond 346.866
  Momentum too expensive at a glance
  Indigo too expensive at a glance
  Mojo not offered in my area of NSW

  Notes:
  Where there were subscription fees for suppliers, I added that expense to the daily fee
  Where there were tiers of solar FiTs, I averaged it out based on the tiering

  Ethically I wish I could go with Diamond, but money is just too tight for me right now.
