If you are looking to save money on your electricity bill or moving house and want to see which electricity provider has the best prices, Mozo can help. We’ve created a comprehensive energy comparison service to make it easier than ever to find the cheapest plans and save.
All you have to do is tell us your Australian postcode (or the postcode you’re moving to) and our comparison technology does the rest. You’ll get an instant list of results showing the providers, electricity plans and cost estimates in your area and find out how much you can save by switching. If you’re after a cheap gas or dual fuel deal, we can give you price quotes for this service as well, just select this option on the form.
How can I compare electricity prices?
Mozo’s free electricity comparison service allows you to see a range of plans from leading energy providers online. We compare 500 electricity plans from 22 electricity providers around Australia to help find you the cheapest energy plan in your area.
If you want to pay less on your gas and electricity bills, then the best way to do this is by switching to a cheaper energy plan. We can help you compare electricity prices in minutes so you can find and switch to the cheapest deal in your area. Mozo’s free comparison tool can help you save hundreds of dollars on your electricity bill each year simply by switching energy providers, or switching to a new plan with your current provider.
With electricity providers changing their plans and rates often, chances are you are missing out on a much more competitive deal if you’ve never compared your provider before. Your electricity bill is calculated by a combination of factors, such as where you are located, usage charges and your plan options. The specific number of energy providers that you can choose from will depend on where you live, as different providers service different locations in Australia. Mozo helps you compare energy prices in minutes so you can find and switch to the best deal in your area.
Simply enter your postcode in our electricity comparison tool to find the cheapest plan in your area. As soon as you’ve told us where you live, we’ll show you a list of the best electricity providers and plans that are on offer in your suburb so you can compare which deal suits you best. As gas and electricity prices vary by region, we can look up which providers service your area. You will be able to improve the accuracy of your results by entering your actual usage if you have a recent bill handy.
You can also refine the results by selecting your preferred payment option and household size. When you’ve found the right electricity deal for your home, simply click on the offer and we’ll transfer you to the energy provider’s website where you will be able to switch to a cheaper electricity plan online or over the phone
What is Mozo?
Mozo is a free, independently owned comparison website that helps Australians to save money on their everyday finances.
We launched in 2008 to help Australians get better deals on home loans, credit cards, savings and other financial products. Now, we’re turning to the energy market to help consumers make better, more informed choices regarding their gas and electricity services.
What’s different about using Mozo to compare electricity plans?
We’ve kept things simple. We don’t make you fill out complicated forms to access our electricity comparisons, all you need to tell us is your postcode and we do the rest.
And that’s not all, we also:
- Compare a wider range of energy plans and providers: We don’t restrict the list of providers we compare to suit our commercial relationships like some other comparison sites. We collect and analyse data for over 1,100 electricity plan options from 22 electricity providers.
- Give cost estimates: You’ll instantly see the average price estimates for your postcode on the results screen.
- Hate spam: You don’t need to fork over your email address or phone number to use our service, we allow you to shop for electricity price comparisons completely anonymously.
- Display customer reviews: Want cheap electricity but also great customer service? Mozo publishes electricity reviews of all providers listed on our site so that you can see what other customers are saying before signing up.
- Connect you directly to providers: We don’t get in your way once you’ve found the best plan. Simply click on the ‘go to site’ button for our sponsored providers and you’ll be connected to the energy provider’s website where you can sign up for your new plan.
Do you compare all electricity plans in all Australian states?
If you live in a state or territory which has a deregulated electricity market like Canberra, New South Wales, South Australia, South East Queensland and Victoria then you’ll be able to use our service today to compare residential electricity plans. The number of energy providers that are compared will depend on where your property is located as different energy providers offer their services in different areas.
For now, we do not compare electricity providers in the Northern Territory, Tasmania or Western Australia but you can rest assured, as soon as the market is deregulated in these regions, Mozo will be there to help you compare electricity plans and save.
While our database covers over 1,100 electricity plans from 22 electricity providers, we do not compare every available electricity plan in the market. Our service looks at electricity plans that are currently available for new customers. It’s possible that the plan you are on currently could be cheaper than newer plans that are available now.
Mozo sources the data it uses from publicly available sources or directly from energy providers themselves. Mozo uses its best efforts to update this information whenever prices and deals change to ensure that Mozo’s comparison engine reflects the latest pricing information.

How accurate are the results?
The more info about your energy usage you give us, the more accurate your results will be. The initial results will be based on your suburb’s average usage but you can dial up the accuracy of your results by entering additional information about your household and current electricity usage.
Before you start your comparison it is a good idea to have your most recent electricity bill handy.
I want a cheap electricity plan. Do the price estimates include discounts?
You can tell us whether you want us to include discounts in your electricity cost estimates by filtering your preferences on our results page. We include discounts for pay on time and direct debits.
While some energy providers will have other discounts such as pensioner concessions or special offers, these discounts are not included in our price comparisons so if you are eligible for these discounts you will need to add this to any cost estimates we provide.
I am moving and don’t have a recent electricity bill.
No problem, we can still give you an estimate of the cheapest electricity plans for your household size and eligibility for conditional offers like pay on time discounts.
Simply enter the postcode or suburb of where you will be moving to and start comparing cheap electricity plans.
Do you compare renewable energy plans?
Yes, if choosing your electricity plan based on renewable energy generation is important to you we can show you which plans will best suit you. Many providers give you the option to source your electricity from renewable sources such as solar, wind or hydro. Our results will detail what percentage of energy is sourced from renewable sources for each plan.
I have solar panels, can I compare solar plan prices?
If you already have solar panels installed at your property we can detail the plans that allow for solar but our cost calculations will not include any feed in tariff rebates. You will need to calculate this independently.
If you are looking to install new solar panels and are wondering how much you will save, we can’t help at this time. We suggest you check out the Clean Energy Council website which has a free guide to buying and installing solar panels.
Where can I learn about saving electricity and lowering my electricity usage?
In addition to our electricity cost comparison tool, we’ve got a range of information on our site from helpful electricity guides to energy saving tips. If there is something you’d particularly like us to cover, get in touch with us here.
