Electricity prices in the Endeavour Energy area

Endeavour Energy looks after the poles and wires in Sydney's west and south-west, the Blue Mountains, the Illawarra and the South Coast. Here's what a household pays for a year there: the Default Market Offer, and every single-rate plan retailers publish, all priced at the same 4,900 kWh.

The default offer

$2,328

A year, for 4,900 kWh, from 1 July 2026. That's $83 less than last year. It's the most a retailer can charge you on a standing offer.

A typical plan

$2,095

That's $233 a year less than the default offer. 82% of 125 plans from 23 retailers cost less than the default offer. The lowest is $1,583.

What every plan costs

Same usage, same area, from $1,583 to $2,883 a year. That's a gap of $1,300 for the same electricity.

Coloured bars are plans that cost less than the default offer of $2,328. 11 plans also offer a discount if you pay on time or by direct debit. We haven't counted it, so they could cost less.

On a time-of-use plan?

Time-of-use plans charge more at busy times, like late afternoon, and less overnight or in the middle of the day. The default offer for one here is $2,320 a year. A typical time-of-use plan is $2,091, and 89% of 158 plans cost less than the default.

Priced with the regulator's own pattern of when a typical household here uses power through the day. If you use more at peak times, you'll pay more than this; if you can move your use to cheaper times, less.

Got a controlled load?

A controlled load is a separate meter for something like an electric hot water system, which only gets power at set times, often overnight, at a lower rate. With one, a typical household here uses 2,200 kWh a year on it, on top of 4,900 kWh for everything else. The default offer for both is $2,833 a year. A typical plan with a controlled load is $2,603, and 89% of 252 plans cost less than the default.

Priced on the plan's flat rate plus its "Controlled Load 1" tariff, the way the regulator works out the default offer.

Never switched? Check your plan

If you moved in and never picked a plan, or haven't changed in years, you may be on a standing offer. A typical standing offer here costs $2,328 a year. Moving to a typical market plan would save about $233 a year, and up to $745 on the lowest-priced plan.

Look at your bill. It must say how your price compares with the DMO: for example, "5% less than the reference price". Higher than the default offer means you could do better.
Compare for free on Energy Made Easy. It's the government's own site, with no commissions. Have your bill handy so it can use your real usage.
