Offers vs the reference price

How many electricity offers in Bellbridge beat the reference price?

95% of the 228 market offers available in Bellbridge (216 of 228) are at or below the VDO of $1,907/yr at 4,000 kWh a year.

Default Offer prices tend to get the most media coverage, because they are the most simple and visible part of the retailer energy pricing confusopoly. However, most energy consumers are on Market Offers, which start off cheaper than Default Offers — you want a plan that’s right over to the left side of this chart. Inevitably, over time, if you don’t monitor your bills and don’t switch to stay on a competitively priced plan, your plan will drift toward the right, and could wind up costing even more than the ‘safety net’ Default Offer price.
