Comparing Electricity Providers in Canberra
Households and businesses in Canberra can usually choose an electricity retailer, while the electricity distributor is determined by the property address. The distributor maintains the local poles and wires. The retailer sets the plan rates, manages the account and sends bills.
Canberra properties are connected through Evoenergy. Plan availability and prices still depend on the address, meter, tariff and usage. Households using electric heating, solar, batteries or electric vehicles should compare offers using their actual consumption pattern.
What to Check Before Switching
Use a recent electricity bill when comparing plans. Check the estimated annual cost, daily supply charge, usage rates, tariff type, discounts, payment conditions, fees and contract terms. Customers with solar, controlled load, electric vehicles or time-of-use meters should compare plans using their actual usage pattern.
Reference Price and Plan Pricing
The ACT uses a regulated standing-offer pricing framework rather than the AER Default Market Offer used in some other jurisdictions. Confirm the current ACT regulated price and compare complete estimated annual costs for the property.
Renters, Apartments and Embedded Networks
Renters with an individually metered connection can usually choose their electricity retailer. Some apartment buildings, retirement villages and other developments operate embedded networks, which may limit retailer choice. Confirm the metering arrangement before comparing plans.

Common questions
FAQs About Energy Providers in Canberra
How do I compare electricity providers in Canberra?
Start with your postcode, recent electricity bill, meter type and annual usage. Compare estimated annual cost, supply charges, usage rates, discounts, fees and contract conditions before choosing a plan.
Which electricity network serves Canberra?
Canberra and the ACT are served by the Evoenergy electricity distribution network.
What is the difference between an electricity retailer and distributor?
Your retailer sells the electricity plan, manages the account and sends bills. Your distributor owns and maintains the local poles and wires and responds to outages and electrical hazards.
What electricity price benchmark applies in Canberra?
ACT standing-offer electricity prices are regulated under the ACT framework. Confirm the current regulated price direction and reference bill before comparing market offers.
Can renters change electricity providers in Canberra?
Renters can usually choose their electricity retailer when the property has an individually metered connection. Customers in embedded networks may have fewer retailer choices.
Will my electricity be disconnected when I switch retailers?
Switching retailers normally does not interrupt electricity supply because the local distributor continues delivering electricity through the same network.
Who should I contact during a power outage in Canberra?
For Evoenergy electricity faults or emergencies call 13 10 93.
How should solar households compare electricity plans in Canberra?
Compare the complete estimated annual cost, not only the feed-in tariff. Check usage rates, supply charges, export rates, limits and eligibility requirements.
Does Connect Market compare every electricity provider in Canberra?
No. Connect Market compares providers and plans available through its comparison panel. Other providers and plans may be available in the market.
Where can I get help with an electricity-provider complaint?
Contact the retailer first and ask it to resolve the issue. If the matter remains unresolved, contact the energy ombudsman or consumer-assistance service responsible for your state or territory.
