        How do I compare and switch energy providers in VIC?

        There are 3 main factors that should be front of mind when comparing energy providers in Victoria.

        1. Price. There's usually room to find a better energy plan than what you're currently on, especially if you haven't switched providers in over 12 months. You can use our comparison engine to find the best price available to you in your area.
        2. Discounts. You will see these displayed as either discounts or a percentage less than the Victorian Default Offer (VDO). The VDO is a benchmark set by the government to help you compare energy plans.
        3. Hidden costs. Always read the terms and conditions set by a provider as there might be extra costs that aren't displayed straight away. These include connection/disconnection fees, meter reads, credit card charges and late fees.

        You can read our guide to switching energy providers if you want more details.
