Imported plans come from the Australian Energy Regulator's Product Reference Data, the same government dataset behind the official Energy Made Easy comparison site. We use each retailer's generally available flat-rate plans with GST-inclusive reference rates, matched to your ACT postcode. The dataset is a dated snapshot, and the retrieved date is shown next to the import tool.

The import uses reference rates: the standing GST-inclusive rates retailers publish to the regulator for a flat-rate tariff. Retailer websites often lead with conditional discounts, sign-up credits or time-limited offers that aren't reflected in reference rates, and prices can change after our snapshot date. Treat the comparison as a like-for-like starting point and always confirm the current rate with the retailer before switching.

A controlled load is a separately metered tariff for appliances like electric hot water, billed at a cheaper rate because the network can limit when they run. Canberra's Evoenergy network offers controlled load options, and retailers publish Controlled Load 1 and 2 rates. Where a plan publishes a Controlled Load 1 rate the import uses it; otherwise the plan's single controlled load rate, or its Controlled Load 2 rate, is used. If you don't have a controlled load, enter zero and it's ignored.

ACT postcodes: 2600 to 2618, 2620 and 2900 to 2920, all on the Evoenergy distribution network. Postcode 2620 spans the border (it covers ACT localities like Hume and Oaks Estate as well as Queanbeyan in NSW), so it works on both this page and the NSW page.

Look for a section like "your usage" or "average daily usage" on your bill, usually shown in kWh per day. If your bill only shows total kWh for the billing period, divide it by the number of days in the period. Controlled load usage is listed separately, usually labelled controlled load 1 or 2.
