Understanding Electricity Providers in Queensland
Electricity offers in Queensland can vary by postcode, distributor, meter, tariff, usage and eligibility. Use the property details to compare complete estimated annual costs rather than relying only on headline discounts.
Queensland has two distinct retail-market contexts. South East Queensland has broader retailer competition through the Energex area, while many regional Queensland small customers are supplied under notified prices.
What to Check Before Choosing a Plan or Tariff
Use a recent electricity bill when reviewing options. Check the estimated annual cost, daily supply charge, usage rates, tariff type, discounts, payment conditions, fees and eligibility. Customers with solar, controlled load, electric vehicles or time-of-use meters should review options using their actual usage pattern.
Reference Price and Regulated Tariff Context
Use the benchmark matching the property network. The AER Default Market Offer applies in South East Queensland, while regional Queensland commonly uses government-notified prices.
Retailers, Distributors and Embedded Networks
The electricity distributor maintains the local poles and wires and responds to outages. The retailer manages the account and bills. Apartment buildings and other developments may use embedded networks, which can affect retailer choice.
Electricity Outages in Queensland
Contact Energex in South East Queensland or Ergon Energy Network in regional Queensland, according to the distributor shown on the bill. Retailers generally cannot restore a local network outage. Call 000 for a life-threatening emergency and keep well away from fallen powerlines.
Check Options for Your Address
Confirm the distributor, current tariff, retailer eligibility and complete estimated annual cost for the property before changing plans or accounts.

How do I compare electricity providers in Queensland?

Which electricity network serves Queensland?
Energex serves South East Queensland, while Ergon Energy Network serves most regional Queensland locations.
What is the difference between an electricity retailer and distributor?
The retailer manages the electricity plan, account and bills. The distributor owns and maintains the local poles and wires and responds to outages and electrical hazards.
