Energy prices are up, so let's check the rules on when, how often, and by how much retailers can increase their prices. Here's everything you need to know.
Richard Foxworthy is the founder of Bill Hero. He's been analysing Australia's retail energy, gas, telco and fuel markets since 2018, building comparison tools that help households find better deals and switch to cheaper providers.
We analysed fuel prices at 3,000+ Australian stations. E10 vs U91 is not worth it once fuel economy is factored in. The real savings are for anyone running premium unnecessarily.
The Australian Energy Regulator has locked in the final rules for the Solar Sharer Offer, delivering on promises of free daytime electricity for millions of households. Starting July 2026, eligible consumers can access three hours of free power daily during peak solar generation periods.
