Compare energy deals in South Australia

Moving can be stressful but you don’t want to get stuck on a dud energy plan just because you ran out of time and just called up the first South Australian energy provider you saw advertised. We realise you won’t be able to give us information from a previous energy bill, but we can still tailor our search to give you an estimate of your energy costs and the best plans that will be available in your new suburb for the household size based on average costs and usage for that area.

South Australia has a number of licensed retailers providing energy plans to residential consumers. You can compare the plans offered by these providers and then choose which one suits your home the best. Some of the providers Mozo compares include:

• AGL
• Alinta Energy
• Commander Power and Gas

• Dodo Power and Gas
• Energy Australia
• Origin Energy

• Powerdirect
• Simply Energy

While we do not compare every single plan on the market, we certainly try to compare a wide selection of the plans that are available if you sign up as a new customer.

Just like one shoe doesn’t fit all, there is no one energy provider that’s perfect for everyone. The best South Australia energy provider for your home will be determined by a number of factors such as your location, your energy usage patterns and if you want to prioritise features like renewable energy options or customer service.

Mozo can help you find the cheapest energy plan keeping all these considerations in mind. Once you’ve got a list of suitable energy plans from Mozo’s comparison tool, you can carry out another level of comparison by reading opinions of real South Australian customers. We collect energy reviews from all energy providers in SA so you can make a more informed choice.

The tariff you pay for your energy usage will depend on multiple things like where you live in SA and how much energy you are actually using. Your bill will then be calculated based on:

• Fixed supply charge. This is a fixed price that you need to pay per day for your service
• Usage. This is calculated per kilowatt hour of usage

Switching providers in itself does not take much time and can mostly be arranged online or over the phone. But when you receive your first bill from the new provider depends on when your meter was last read. This can take anything from a few days to three months.

If you are moving to a new house, you will need to give about 2-5 days of notice to your SA energy provider to move your account. Make sure they have access to your meter so that there is no delay in the transfer and you have gas and electricity set up before you move into the new property.

You don’t need to pay extra money to energy providers in SA for switching your account if you are on an open contract. But if you have signed a fixed term contract, you might need to pay a termination fee for ending the contract before the planned expiry date. If you are moving premises, many energy providers in South Australia charge a connection fee for setting up the account and service to your new address. This cost is generally added to your first 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.
