Switching checklist This checklist will help make sure you’re ready, and have everything you need, to switch to a new energy plan. I have the Basic Plan Information document or the energy company’s written summary of the plan. This document lists all the important information about the plan like: the type of rate – time of use or single rate how long the plan is for any fees and discounts. Print basic Plan Information document I know what my cooling off rights are. I have asked my current energy company if I have to pay a fee to leave my current energy plan. I have checked if prices can change on my new plan and if the energy company is planning any price changes. I have asked the energy company if I can get a concession. I have checked if the energy company has flexible payment options, like monthly billing. What happens next? Once you’ve found a plan you like, get in touch with the energy company to sign up. The energy company’s contact details are on their Basic Plan Information document or their written summary of the plan. This can also be found at the bottom of the page. To make sure you’re signing up to the right plan, give the energy company: the name of the plan the plan ID. You can find this information at the bottom of this page. Then the energy company will: change over your energy services tell your old energy company that you’re changing energy companies. A few days after you sign up, the energy company will send you a letter showing: the plan you chose with your name, contacts and address all the terms and conditions of the plan. They might be able to send this to you by email. You’ll change over to your new plan the next time your meter is read. This could take up to 3 months. If you want to start using your plan sooner, you can ask your energy company to read your meter earlier. But check to see if you have to pay a fee for this. You’ll also get a final bill from your old energy company. It will tell you if you still have money to pay them.

Your off-peak hours, and your controlled load electricity charges, will vary from energy company to energy company. Off-peak hours are generally, overnight and during weekends. We are showing you the controlled load rates that this plan offers.

Your off-peak hours, and your controlled load electricity charges, will vary from energy company to energy company. Off-peak hours are generally, overnight and during weekends. We are showing you the controlled load rates that this plan offers.

Your electricity meter needs to be set up for a controlled load. Controlled load rates are generally cheaper than the peak or daily rate charges for electricity. The controlled load rate that best suits you will depend on your meter set up and the rates the energy company sets.

Your electricity meter needs to be set up for a controlled load. Controlled load rates are generally cheaper than the peak or daily rate charges for electricity. The controlled load rate that best suits you will depend on your meter set up and the rates the energy company sets.

Controlled load uses a separate circuit for appliances that use a lot of electricity, like a water heater or underfloor heating. The electricity use for this circuit is often recorded separately from your other electricity use. Since the appliances are separately wired and run at set times (usually overnight), the price of electricity is much lower for controlled load appliances. This lower price is called a controlled load tariff or rate.

You need a smart meter to be on a plan with a demand charge. To make the most of demand charges, you need to be able to manage when you use your electricity. If you can minimise how much you use during peak times, you may be able to save money on your bill. But if you don’t keep an eye on how much electricity you’re using at peak times, you could end up paying more.

You need a smart meter to be on a plan with a demand charge. A demand charge is based on your electricity demand usage. This is the amount of electricity that you use over a particular period of time (usually measured by a 30-minute timeslot). The charge is based on the maximum amount of electricity you use in 30 minutes in the peak time your energy company sets. Your peak demand period will vary depending on where you live and the time of year. Your energy company can give you more information about this. Demand charges aim to encourage you to use less electricity in peak times. This example should help explain it: Home A uses their washing machine and when it finishes, they use their dishwasher . Home B uses their washing machine and dishwasher at the same time. Home A and Home B use the same amount of electricity. But Home B’s maximum amount of electricity is higher over the 30-minute period because they are using both appliances at the same time. This means that Home B will have to pay a higher demand charge. To cut costs, it’s important to spread out how much electricity you use in peak times.

There is an extra charge for GreenPower. Your electricity company might offer you different ways to charge you for your GreenPower. For example they might charge you: a flat fee each day, week or month – such as $2.00 each day, week or month a percentage of your total bill – such as 2% of your bill a cents per kWh rate – such as 4.7c per kWh.

Through GreenPower you can use more sustainable types of energy. This helps to support the Australian renewable energy sector and helps our environment. But it will cost you more. You also don’t get any specific information on where your renewable energy comes from.

Green power is electricity made from wind, solar, hydro and other renewables. You can ask your electricity company to buy green or renewable energy for you to power your home. It should be from government accredited sources. GreenPower is an Australian Government program to support Australia’s renewable energy sector. You can find more information at the GreenPower website You can choose how much of your electricity comes from renewable energy, and you tell your energy company.

A subscription plan may require a smart meter. Smart meters are digital and take energy usage readings every 30 minutes. This data is used to measure your electricity usage and see if you are still within the electricity allowance set by the energy company. If you have a subscription plan that includes solar export, the amount of electricity you feed back into the system will also be measured by the smart meter.

If you have a subscription plan that includes solar export, the amount of electricity you feed back into the system will also be measured by the smart meter.

If you are certain your electricity usage will be within the set allowance, there will be the certainty of only paying the set subscription fee every month, however if you use more electricity than the set amount, you will have to pay a single rate for every kilowatt hour you use above the allowance level. The amount charged per unit of electricity used above the allowance limit can also increase if your usage exceeds further limits set by the energy company.

If you are certain your electricity usage will be within the set allowance, there will be the certainty of only paying the set subscription fee every month, however if you use more electricity than the set amount, you will have to pay a single rate for every kilowatt hour you use above the allowance level. The amount charged per unit of electricity used above the allowance limit can also increase if your usage exceeds further limits set by the energy company.

You will pay a set, recurring fee that provides an allowance of electricity usage decided by the energy company. This means your bill will show zero supply and usage fees if you only use electricity within the set allowance. If you use more electricity than the set allowance, you will be charged for the additional electricity you use at a single rate set by the energy company. If you have a solar system and export or feed electricity into the system, you will need to check if there are additional requirements on how much electricity you feed in. Some energy companies may require a set amount of electricity to be fed into the system for you to qualify for the full electricity usage allowance.

Most energy companies pay feed-in tariffs. Solar is the most common feed in tariff. The rate they pay varies depends on the state or territory you’re in and your energy company. Generally, energy companies offer rates between 6 cents per kWh and 20 cents per kWh. Some people may receive more than this if they’re on an older contract.  The size of your solar system can also effect the rate you get.

Generally, energy companies offer rates between 6 cents per kWh and 20 cents per kWh. Some people may receive more than this if they’re on an older contract. The size of your solar system can also effect the rate you get.

You must have solar panels or another type of renewable electricity, such as a small wind system, to be able to get a feed-in tariff.  The size of the solar panels, or renewable generator, you need to be able to get the feed-in tariff will depend on the state you’re in. Usually, your generator must be less than 100kW for small customers. Most generators are between 3kW and 10kW.  You will need to let your energy company know that you have solar panels.  The Clean Energy Council’s consumer guide to buying and installing household solar panels can help you decide if solar is a good choice for you.

You may have recently heard the terms 'default market offer' or 'reference price' in the media in relation to electricity offers. They relate to new rules for retailers operating in New South Wales, South Australia and South East Queensland. If you live in these regions, what does this all mean for you?

'Default market offer' and 'reference price' explained

The Default Market Offer is an electricity price safety net that protects consumers from unjustifiably high prices. It is the maximum price an electricity company can charge customers on standard retail plans.
