Understanding Electricity Providers in ACT

Electricity offers in ACT 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.

ACT electricity offers depend on the address, meter, tariff, usage and eligibility. Electric heating, solar, batteries and electric vehicles can materially affect plan value.

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

The ACT uses a regulated standing-offer pricing framework rather than the AER Default Market Offer used in some other jurisdictions.

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 ACT

For Evoenergy electricity faults or emergencies call 13 10 93. 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.
