Key takeaways
- Support local by choosing from many fully or partly Australian-owned energy providers.
- Compare Australian-owned plans, with some offering over 20% less than the reference price in NSW.
- Always check for membership fees or credit card charges; these impact your actual annual cost.
It doesn't matter to everyone, but doing business with companies that are fully or partly Australian owned means there's a better chance the profits stay in the country. This can help promote local jobs or make you feel better about supporting local businesses.
Since it's not clear from a casual glance which energy companies are Australian and which are part of foreign conglomerates, we've done the work for you on who owns what.
