Hi Guys

Just got my energy bill, and found out that my electricity rate has gone off to more than 1000 dollar quarterly!

I kinda expect higher bill due to higher number of peak hour usage but never expect it to this high.

Can you please let me know if you guys are getting better pricing than what i have and with which provider?

My current rate is as below.

peak hour rate is $0.5929000 per kWh, 0.47432 after discount
shoulder is $0.3102000 per kWh 0.24816 after discount
off peak is $0.1892000 per kWh 0.1892000 after discount
suppy charge is $1.060400 per day 0.84832 after discount
20% discount for paying in time.

btw i'm in Sydney

    What state do you live in?

  • SBOB on 05/11/2019 - 13:55

    wattever.com.au and do your own research

    none of those rates look that out of the ordinary for my area so you must be using a heap of electricity to get a $1000 bill (though you dont save if thats a month, quarter, yearly, decade etc etc)

  • brendanm on 05/11/2019 - 14:15

    I pay about $0.28 per kwh, but that's completely irrelevant to you of your aren't in Qld.

  • Bargain80 on 05/11/2019 - 14:19

    what state?
    that seems very high for QLD.

    This is the AGL offer for Brisbane for example

    T11 = $0.22583 /kWh
    T31 = $0.16258 /kWh
    T33 = $0.18337 /kWh
    Supply charge = $0.93896 /day

    I quickly checked two other states (NSW & VIC), and they are not much different.

  • Archi on 05/11/2019 - 14:27

    AGL in NSW
    $0.289 per klh electricity
    $0.138 per klh control load 1 for hot water
    $0.84 per day supply charge

    20% off pay on time discount

    • Haha Hihi Hoho on 05/11/2019 - 16:21

      which plan are you with?

      • Archi on 05/11/2019 - 19:58

        doesn't look like the plan we have is on there, as we just continue on from we signed up a couple of years ago and have maintained the same rates

  • Skramit on 05/11/2019 - 14:30

    16c kWh in VIC.
    89c daily charge.

    Wow peak rate of 47c you are getting rrrrrrrripped!

    • JimmyF on 05/11/2019 - 15:52

      WHAT!? what area? No peak rate is 16c for the last decade.

      • ssquid on 05/11/2019 - 16:11

        Tango/Pacific Hydro was doing 16c a few years back, with 2 years locked-in so some people are still paying that. Their currently offered rate is more like ~19.5c depending on your distributor.

        • JimmyF on 05/11/2019 - 16:53

          WOW! I'm impressed, some areas 'off peak' isn't even that cheap!

          • Skramit on 05/11/2019 - 17:35

            @JimmyF: Mine is a flat rate for all periods.

  • [Deactivated] on 05/11/2019 - 14:44

    In NSW with AGL.

    Electricity: 25.61c kWh
    Supply charge: 81.45c per day.

    Your pricing looks similar to ours when we were with Origin. Even with their 20% "pay on time" discount it was still more expensive than standard rates with other suppliers.

  • sk213 on 05/11/2019 - 14:51

    I'm guessing SA. I'm in the same boat but your peak hour charge is quite high. my peak is roughly the same or less than your discount rate.

      They don't compare the best plans.

      The reason these sites exist is because people do not understand what they're buying.

      I've been dumbstruck watching the morons in NSW and QLD see the rest of the country suffer an economic and social disaster because of privatisation … and then watching them vote to privatise the grid because the charlatans they voted for told them it would be cheaper … and then watching the 200% price increase in three years after privatisation.

      Naturally they continue to vote for the charlatans because they cannot lose enough money to not do that apparently.

      • kiitos on 06/11/2019 - 10:30

        Is there a better site? Or other way of getting a comprehensive list of companies to check?

      • ssquid on 06/11/2019 - 13:03

        Why only NSW and QLD? What about VIC where the public were conned into paying for smart meters that could be used to charge them higher rates?

    NSW 2161 - Before DISC 41.47c KW/H After DISC 24.882c

    • SBOB on 05/11/2019 - 16:05

      that seems cheap for NSW

      newcastle is way more than that for supply charge (especially if you want solar FIT)

    • Gotchas on 05/11/2019 - 16:18

      Who is that with?

      old grandfathered plan with Amaysim 40% off the whole bills, many people above forget to mention their discount is off USAGE only, this is off USAGE and Supply

      • brad1-8tsi on 06/11/2019 - 09:17

        How did you get the lock-in of rates with Amaysim?

        I was on their 40% discount and after 6 months they increased the rates a crazy amount.

  • ilsan0 on 05/11/2019 - 16:22

    Timely thread, however I would like to see comparisons with Solar.
    I will start another thread.

  • cashless on 05/11/2019 - 16:47

    Haha Hihi Hoho

    In your position OP, I wouldn't be laughing so much

    OP:

    What is your actual usage?

    Is it just you or a family?

    Pool? Lots of AC? Electric hot water? indoor hydroponics? lots of 50w downlights?

    I'd be looking at where you are using the electricity rather than the rate.
