It is easy to shop around and find a gas or electricity offer that works best for your household.
Under the new National Energy Retail Law the AER has developed a new energy price comparison website Energy Made Easy.
See our online comparison tools page for more information on Energy Made Easy and links to each of the current regulators’ price comparison websites and for tips and information on how you can use these websites to choose an energy offer which suits your needs.
Remember that even if you do switch energy retailers you will still have the same electricity and gas supply to your property. The distributor, the company who owns the poles, wires and pipes connecting your property to the network, will not change.
The AER has produced factsheets on choosing an energy retailer and energy contracts.
