This is a simple variable rate residential electricity plan without any conditional discounts. Your rates will be fixed for the first 12 months of the plan, and there aren't any exit fees involved.
EnergyAustralia's flagship plan, which provides electricity at a variable rate without any conditional discounts. Instead, for the first 12 months it has a guaranteed discount on both usage and supply rates, which are fixed for the same period. The discount varies based on state.
Be aware that this discount largely brings its higher base usage rates in line with the No Frills plan, leading to minimal cost difference between the two.
This provides electricity at rates that exactly match each state's reference price, without any discounts. If you don't buy into one of their other market offers, this is the maximum price you will pay for electricity.
Identical to the No Frills electricity plan, but for natural gas. Provides gas at a variable rate with no special discounts, but fixed usage and supply charges for the first 12 months.
