Of course. Even if you don’t have an existing electricity bill to give us, we can still easily estimate how much your electricity costs are likely to be based on the size of your household as well as the average costs of electricity and usage in the Victorian suburb you are moving to.

Well, this really depends on where you live as different providers service different areas. Mozo’s service compares many of the leading electricity providers that operate in Victoria so you can be confident that we’re giving you a wide range of all the electricity plans available in your area.
In Victoria we compare some of the following brands:
There isn’t one best electricity provider for every resident in Victoria. Instead, you should be asking yourself who is the best electricity provider for me? The answer to this question depends on a number of factors such as how much electricity you use, the type of meter you have installed at your premises and your bill payment habits.
When choosing a new electricity provider, it is important to keep in mind that the best provider isn’t necessarily the cheapest. There are heaps of other factors you’ll need to consider like whether they have good customer service or if they offer options in terms of renewable energy.
Good news is, Mozo asked many Victorian residents to review their electricity provider on a whole range of things like price, customer service, green energy and trustworthiness. If you want to see how a particular electricity provider rated before making your final decision, you can read electricity customer reviews on Mozo.
The standard electricity meter in Victoria is the smart meter. In fact, the Victorian government has been rolling out smart meters for all residential homes over the past several years. A smart meter is a digital meter that records your electricity usage every 30 minutes. This data is automatically sent to your distributor and puts an end to estimated bills and manual meter readings.
The tariff you pay for your electricity depends on the type of meter that is installed at your premises and the plan you choose. With a smart meter, for instance, you have the option of choosing between a single flat rate or a flexible pricing plan that allow for discounts on your electricity depending on the time of the day. Want to know more? Read our very comprehensive guide on smart meters.
Most electricity providers in Victoria will not charge you to switch providers if you are on an open contract. However, if your electricity plan has a fixed period, you may be charged an early termination fee if you leave the contract before this fixed term expires.
If you are moving houses, you may be charged a connection fee to cover the transfer of your electricity services to your new address. Most providers will include this cost in your first electricity bill.
Mozo makes money by helping energy providers connect with customers, like you, who are looking for a great energy deal. Most importantly our service is totally free to use and it is the energy providers competing for your business that pay Mozo, not you!
Mozo shares a fee with our partner, CIMET, who helps provide this service. This fee is paid when you complete an application and switch energy providers using our service. Mozo may also earn revenue when energy providers purchase display advertising on our site or when we help them use the all the great data we’ve collected.
*To calculate the potential savings figure Mozo identified the lowest plan provided by Mozo and highest cost plan in each energy distributor state region based on the average residential usage in that state. The costs data used across the state is current at 17 August 2020. Not all plans will be available via the Mozo energy comparison service. Your individual usage and location, along with which plan you are on and which plans are available on the Mozo site at any given time, will vary the savings you may be able to achieve using the Mozo energy comparison service.
I love that Alinta Energy offer me such competitive rates however, when I set up the account I added my pension card (I am a single mother) and six months later realised the bills had not reflected this. I have rung three times and the first two times was told "oh we'll add it eventually, our accounts team is busy learning a new system" The third time the lady was very helpful and said I would receive an updated bill within five business days. Fingers crossed that by Monday next week it will be sorted out.
