Ranked by a year’s bill for a typical two-person home on Ausgrid’s network in Sydney 2000 (5,237 kWh a year, the AER’s benchmark): supply and usage with GST, less guaranteed discounts, cheapest first. One plan per retailer, its cheapest. Leaves out wholesale plans, whose prices are the retailer’s estimate; demand plans, which need your meter data; plans sold only through comparison sites, to members or to existing customers; and plans only for homes with solar, a battery or an EV. Compares 26 retailers, not the whole market.

Each plan is priced on whichever version (single rate or time of use, with or without controlled load) costs this home least, on a typical day’s use; time of use needs a smart meter. A sign-up credit counts in the first year only, shown beside the figure. When checked on 13 October 2026, the same five retailers led on Endeavour Energy’s network (western Sydney), in a different order.
