Compare electricity plans

Start with the property, add the best usage information you have, then review plans ranked on the same household assumptions.

Private, independent and evidence-backed
Simple guided comparison

Your electricity comparison

Step 1 of 3
  1. 1PropertyEnter the postcode and, if available, the NMI from the bill.
  2. 2UsageUse a meter file for the best match, or enter the usage from a bill.
  3. 3ResultsCompare like for like, then confirm the selected plan with the retailer.

1Where is the property?

Start with the postcode. The optional NMI confirms the exact electricity network and always stays in this browser.

Have your NMI but still need the usage file? Follow the meter-data guide below.

2How much electricity do you use?

Recommended
Use your smart-meter data

Upload up to 12 months of NEM12 data. We automatically read the NMI, annual usage, seasonal changes, solar exports and time-of-day pattern. The file stays in this browser.

Drag your NEM12 meter-data CSV hereor choose a file from this device
Step-by-step: find your NMI and download meter data
Your NMI and meter data are different.The NMI is the connection number printed on your bill. The NEM12 CSV is the detailed usage file you download from your electricity distributor, sometimes called your network.
  1. Open a recent electricity bill.Find the 10 or 11 character NMI, usually on the first or second page near your supply address.
  2. Identify your distributor.Enter the NMI above, check the network name on your bill, or choose it below.
  3. Request interval data.Use the matching official link and ask for up to 12 months in NEM12 CSV format.
  4. Upload the downloaded CSV here.You do not need to open or edit it first.

The downloaded file is read locally. Its NMI and intervals are never uploaded by this comparer.

I only have an electricity billUse this optional fallback when a NEM12 file is not available.

Enter usage from your bill

Exact bill dates let us correct for seasonal heating and cooling instead of multiplying one month or quarter across the year.

What usage figure do you have?
When do you usually use the most power?

This optional assumption estimates time-of-use charges when no smart-meter intervals are available.

3What is already installed?

Confirm solar, battery and plan conditions so unsuitable offers are not treated as a match.

Definitions used in this comparison
NMI
The identifier for an electricity connection point. It is used locally to identify the network and is never shared.
NEM12
A standard interval-meter file. This comparer reads its dated usage registers in the browser.
General and controlled load
General usage powers normal circuits. Controlled load is a separately metered circuit, commonly hot water, with its own tariff.
Time of use (TOU)
Rates that change by time and day. Meter intervals are allocated to each plan's published windows.
Demand tariff
A tariff with a charge based on measured peak power during published periods, in addition to energy charges.
Supply charge
The daily fixed charge for keeping the property connected.
Feed-in tariff
The credit paid for solar electricity exported to the grid.
Conditional discount
A discount that only applies if its conditions are met; it is excluded unless explicitly assumed.
Calculation audit
The quantities, tariff rates, evidence versions and reconciliation behind an individual result.
