It’s quite easy to switch to an ActewAGL electricity plan - all you need to do is fill up a form and provide personal identification documents such as a copy of your your passport or driver’s license. After you have confirmed ActewAGL as your electricity supplier, your current provider will be informed of the change in supplier and the switch will be arranged for when your meter is due for its next reading. This is a smooth process that shouldn’t interrupt your electricity supply.
You can easily move your existing electricity account to a new address as long as ActewAGL provides energy in that area. Just fill out an online form stating the details of your existing account and requirements for your new home so your account can be moved accordingly.

ActewAgl have been very good to our household. They provided me with a much discounted solar installation and a FREE inspection this week. They are local to Canberra and have a very good sales and service record. I will not be moving from them.

This energy provider gives many discounts including pension rebates. It has been compared by other providers but no one can match the low prices. The overall bill is low and you don’t loose your discounts if you have to ask for an extra two weeks...

To my understanding there is little or no competition for electricity providers in ACT

Very expensive but don't get a very good return on my solar. More should be done to go green.
