Finding the right energy plan can feel like navigating a maze. That’s where Awaken Energy steps in to simplify the process. By comparing the various components of electricity bills, we ensure you find the best plan for your household. Here’s a handy guide to help you understand the details and make an informed choice.

Why Compare Your Energy Plan?

Energy prices fluctuate, and reviewing your plan annually is an excellent habit to keep your bills manageable. At Awaken Energy, we know life admin isn’t everyone’s favourite pastime, so we make it as quick and stress-free as possible.

What Should You Look For in an Energy Plan?

Every household is unique, and so are energy needs. Here are the key factors Awaken considers when comparing plans for you:

• Ease of Connection: How quickly and effortlessly can you connect or switch providers? Does the provider offer bundled services like gas or internet for ultimate convenience?

• Convenience: Check for flexible billing and payment options, like apps or online portals, that make managing your account a breeze.

• Control Over Costs: Can you easily track your energy usage and rates? Transparency is crucial to avoid surprises on your bill.

• Green Energy Options: Does the provider offer renewable energy products or competitive solar feed-in tariffs? Awaken ensures sustainability doesn’t come with a premium.

  
  

Understanding Your Energy Bill

A big part of finding the best energy plan is understanding your current bill. Awaken Energy breaks it down for you to identify potential savings:

• Base Rates: Compare what you’re paying per kilowatt-hour (kWh) or megajoule (MJ) against regulated prices like the Default Market Offer (DMO) or Victorian Default Offer (VDO).

• Daily Supply Charges: These fixed charges can vary widely and impact your overall bill, even when usage is low.

• Bonuses and Discounts: Does your current plan offer value-adds or loyalty rewards? We help you identify these perks.

• Flexibility: Look for plans with no lock-in contracts or exit fees, so you can switch as your needs evolve.

Awaken Energy's Checklist for Comparing Plans

Before making a switch, use this checklist to evaluate your options:

1. Rates and Fine Print: Understand the actual cost per kWh or MJ and any hidden fees.

2. Billing Frequency: Consider how often you’ll be billed and whether payment options suit your budget.

3. Late and Admin Fees: Avoid plans that penalise you with unnecessary charges.

4. Solar-Friendly Plans: If you have solar panels, check feed-in tariffs and plans designed for solar users.

5. Contract Terms: Ensure flexibility with no exit fees or long lock-in periods.

6. Additional Perks: Look for benefits like loyalty rewards, energy-saving programs, or virtual power plant options.
