Cheapest electricity plans on the Ausgrid network (NSW)

For a household using 3,900 kWh a year with no controlled load, the cheapest plan on the Ausgrid network is Globird Energy's GLOHOME Residential (Flat Rate)-Ausgrid, at an estimated $1,410 a year ($1,453 if you miss its conditional discounts). The table ranks the cheapest plan from each of 29 retailers; choose another usage level, add controlled load, or show every plan, and it re-ranks. Every bill here is an estimate for the household described, worked out from the plan's published prices, not a quote.

1,474 residential plans on Ausgrid from 29 retailers, from the AER's Consumer Data Right plan data, as of 12 November 2026. 263 are open to any household on a meter without controlled load.

How the household is chosen

Each network is priced for three households. Medium is the regulator's reference household: the AER's Default Market Offer 2026–27 usage and daily profile in NSW, south-east Queensland and SA, and the ESC's Victorian Default Offer 2026–27 usage (4,000 kWh) in Victoria. The ACT, Tasmania and regional Queensland have no default offer, so their medium is the AER's 2020 average for the distributor scaled to match the others. Low is half of medium and high is double. Usage is the same every day, so a seasonal price is weighted by the number of days in each season. A household with controlled load (a separately metered hot water system) adds the network's controlled load kWh, priced on the plan's cheapest controlled load rate. No solar export is assumed.

This is reference data worked out from published prices, not advice about which plan to choose. Each estimate assumes a stated household; a real bill depends on the household's own usage. Check a plan with your own usage at Energy Made Easy before you switch.
