Alinta Energy is a major retailer and generator of power, and has quite cheap prices across the board. Its power plans range from 22% to 10% below the reference price.
Prices are cheapest in Victoria, with Queensland and South Australia having higher rates.

Important notes: The estimated price we show by default is based on a single rate tariff. On your bill this might be known as a "peak tariff", "peak only" or an "anytime tariff". There are other tariff types available to customers and you may need to contact your provider if you are on these tariffs:
- Single rate with a controlled load
- Time of use
- Time of use with a controlled load
The price estimate should not be used as an official quote, but an indication of what your costs may be on the plan. It varies based on whether you provide us with your bill details. You can learn more here..
