What are the features that I should look for in an electricity plan?

Whether you are going for an individual electricity plan, or a dual fuel package, you will have a wide range of energy providers to pick from. All energy providers in Queensland will have different incentives such as a sign-up discount or an online deal. As with any other shopping, you need to be mindful to differentiate between features that are actually useful to you and those that are irrelevant. Here are some considerations to help you make the best decision:

• Do you always pay your bills on time? Many providers reward their customers for paying on time by offering regular
  discounts on every bill that is paid on schedule. If you are always up to date with your payments, you can take advantage of this option.
  Do you want to set up a direct debit account? If you can maintain sufficient balance in your bank account when your electricity the bills are due, this turns out to be a good option because most electricity providers in QLD offer discounts for direct debit.
  Do you want to support renewable energy? For Australians who are looking for alternatives to electricity produced from coal, many providers give the option to sponsor a percentage of your electricity usage to be generated from renewable sources such as solar, wind or biomass.
  Do you want to sign up for a long or short term contract? If you are renting or likely to move soon, you might want to look at plans that are on an open contract or have no exit fees rather than ones that are on a fixed term because you will have to pay a termination fee for the latter in case you need to switch before the end of term.
