Everything You Need to Know About Electricity Tariffs

Electricity tariffs vary widely in unit rate, standing charge, contract length, and green credentials. With dozens of suppliers and hundreds of plans on the market, comparing properly can cut your annual electricity bill by $150–$400. Our comparison tool does the heavy lifting so you can find the best deal for your home in under two minutes.

Standard variable tariffs: Prices move with the energy price cap — no exit fees, but bills can rise at short notice.
Fixed-rate tariffs: Unit rate and standing charge are locked for 12–36 months, giving full budget certainty.
Prepayment meter tariffs: Dedicated plans for pay-as-you-go meters, often with apps that let you top up instantly.
Time-of-use (smart) tariffs: Cheaper electricity during off-peak hours — ideal for EV charging, dishwashers, and washing machines.

Fixed-Rate Peace of Mind

Lock in your electricity unit rate for 12, 24, or 36 months and protect yourself from future price rises. Your monthly direct debit stays stable for the entire term.

Smart-Meter Tariffs

If you have a smart meter, access time-of-use tariffs with cheaper overnight or off-peak rates — perfect for EV owners and households with home batteries.

100% Renewable Electricity

Choose a tariff backed by renewable energy certificates and power your home entirely from wind, solar, and hydro sources without paying a green premium.
