Comparing Electricity Providers SA on Price
Residential
Firstly, we’re going to start off with residential plans. We know that everyone’s power bill is different, but in order to give you an idea of what sort of power bill you might be looking at, we’ve done our calculations for a four-person household. For more info on how we got to these numbers consult our disclaimer at the foot of this text.
| Retailer | Plan | Price |
|---|---|---|
| AGL | AGL Residential Essentials Plus | $2440 |
| Alinta | No Fuss | $2329 |
| Energy Australia | Total Plan | $2597 |
| Origin Energy | Origin Max Saver | $2340 |
| Powershop | Auto Pay w/ MegaPack | $2293 |
| Red Energy | Easy Saver | $2450 |
| Simply Energy | Simply NRMA Plus | $2684 |
| Lumo Energy | Lumo Basic | $2499 |
So based on our analysis, we’re happy to report a fantastic performance from Powershop. A four-person household in South Australia could save nearly $400 if they switched from the most expensive plan on our list to Powershop. Above all, on a network as expensive as South Australia’s, a $400 saving on your power bill really helps keep the wolf from the door.
Another strong performer is Alinta Energy. Their No Fuss plan pulls through as the second most affordable plan in our analysis. If you’re interested in finding out more about these providers speak to a professional Electricity Broker at Electricity Monster.
However, on the other end of the spectrum Simply Energy has the most expensive offer on the market. Energy Australia is also very expensive. Moreover, it’s prices like these that contribute to South Australia’s reputation as a nightmare of an electricity market, and one of the most expensive in the world.
If you live in Adelaide or elsewhere in South Australia and are sick of the high prices you’re paying, get in touch with Electricity Monster today.

Why Should You Compare Electricity Providers in SA?
For starters, because everyone should take the time to hunt down a better deal. Secondly because more than any other state in Australia, South Australia is well overdue a better deal. Not only are South Australians subject to the most outrageous power prices in a country known for outrageous power prices, according to some metrics they’re the most expensive in the world.
There’s also another factor to consider. How reliable is your power? In the past few years, how often have you been subjected to a blackout? So why should you pay such high prices for an electrical supply that’s not even reliable? You really shouldn’t, so what you should do is make the call to Electricity Monster. We can help you find a better deal.
