What are the Mozo Experts Choice Awards?
Now in their tenth year, the Mozo Experts Choice Awards present an opportunity to recognise products in the market we believe offer great value to Australians.
For the 2025 Energy awards, our Experts analysed 2,334 energy products issued by 36 energy retailers head to head.
“It has always been important to make sure you're not overpaying for your home’s energy, but with prices for electricity and gas on the rise, it matters now more than ever before,” said Peter Marshall, Mozo Experts Choice judge.
“For this year’s awards we scoured the market to find which plans will cost the least for most people by assessing the total cost of supply and usage charges for small, medium and large households. Whether you are connected to the grid, have solar panels or you want a green energy plan that will have a lower impact on the environment, finding a low cost plan will mean more savings for you.”
For full details on how we crunched the numbers, the awards criteria and how we determined the winners, see the 2025 Mozo Experts Choice Awards for Energy methodology report.

What’s the Judging Criteria for the Mozo Experts Choice Awards?
Running since 2014, the Mozo Experts Choice Awards recognise products that deliver exceptional value or benefits to consumers. See our 2025 Mozo Experts Choice Awards for Energy methodology report for detailed information on how we performed product comparisons for energy to determine the final winners for 2025.
Did you compare all energy providers in the market for these awards?
In this year’s awards we analysed 2,334 energy products issued by 36 energy retailers. We aim to include most providers in the market in the Mozo Experts Choice Awards. However, not every product in the market will be included in our review. For a full list of the gas and electricity providers included in our assessment, please see our methodology report.
How do I choose the best energy plan for me?
You can start by checking out the winners in your state to find the cheapest energy plans available. Our experts crunched the data on a range of energy use examples and these were the retailers and plans that came out the best value when compared to similar products.
It’s important to understand that energy prices are dictated by both your energy retailer and the specific energy distributor in your area. So, you’ll still need to compare energy plans and options available in your area.
Who are the Mozo Experts?
The Mozo Experts Choice Awards are overseen by AJ Duncanson and Peter Marshall. AJ is Mozo’s Data Director, a data scientist and actuary who has worked in financial services and product comparison for over 30 years. Peter has been in the industry even longer, and as Mozo's Financial Services Specialist he contributes to the team of analysts that gather information and compare products every day, and oversees the calculations and data quality used for producing the Mozo Experts Choice Awards.
