Compare Electricity in ACT with Electricity Monster

Did you know you have the freedom to choose your electricity retailer? This is important because you aren’t limited to staying with one provider – so if you’re stuck on a bad rate or feel like you’re overpaying for your energy, you can switch to a better deal. If your power bills seem surprisingly high, or you’re unhappy with your current provider, you have several options in Canberra and the greater ACT area.

The energy market in ACT is home to several electricity retailers that offer unique plans, incentives, and perks. By comparing the market and ultimately finding a better deal on your energy, you can effectively lower your energy bill and put more money back into your pocket. If you haven't compared the market before or switched in a while, you'll want to start by finding a plan that best suits your usage needs and budget.

Your best electricity deal will largely depend on your energy consumption habits, budget, and needs. Every electricity and gas provider offers unique rates, discounts, and more. While the best deal for someone may be the least expensive plan, the best deal for someone else may be the most flexible.

One of the fastest ways to compare electricity prices in ACT is by calling a service like Electricity Monster. We’ll do the comparison shopping for you and find you the best deal we have within our network of partnered retailers. With our service, you won’t have to waste time and effort going through various retailers to determine which offers the cheapest electricity rates.

Why Should I Compare Electricity in ACT?

According to the ACCC, Australians should actively compare the energy market in order to get the best energy deal. When residential consumers do not engage with the market and stay with the same plan and retailer for years, it is not uncommon to see their prices increase over time.

There’s nothing worse than seeing an unexpectedly high power bill. This can be a huge blow to your bank account and even force you to cut back on immediate payments. The good news is you can reduce energy costs in various ways. While energy usage is the first thing that comes to mind for most ACT residents, the culprit could be something that’s relatively out of your control – your current electricity plan.

If you haven’t checked to see if you’re on a bad rate, your rate could be higher than the market average. Your benefit period may have also expired, resulting in higher rates and more money out of your pocket.

Another option is to use a service like Electricity Monster. Our energy experts work with all types of energy users and help them save money on their energy bills. Our service is 100% free to use, and we take care of the entire process from start to finish. We’ll compare plans within our network of partnered retailers, find you an energy plan that best suits your personal needs and budget, and get you connected fast. We offer a number of free services that can potentially save you money. Don’t wait, call us now.

  • When you click 'Sign Up Now' you agree to be contacted by our energy experts. Plans with said button are affiliated with our partnered retailers only.
  • Electricity plans are now compared to a regulated price called the Victorian Default Offer (VDO). This makes it easier to compare energy plans across the market. The VDO comparison and annual estimate is calculated based on an average usage customer.
