What are the Mozo Experts Choice Awards?
Now in their twelfth 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 1,146 energy products issued by 32 energy retailers head to head.
“With energy prices on a continuous rise, it's important to assess whether you could be paying less for your energy to keep your total business costs down,” said Peter Marshall, Mozo Experts Choice judge.
“The purpose of these awards is to help businesses save time and money. So if you want to see if you can reduce your businesses energy costs check out the winning plans and providers in your state.”
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 small business 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, to find the best small business energy plans we analysed 1,146 energy products issued by 32 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 small business gas and electricity providers included in our assessment, please see our methodology report.
How do I choose the cheapest small business energy plan for me?
Start by checking out the winners in your state. Our experts crunched the data on a range of energy use examples and awards were given to 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 the energy retailer you choose and the specific energy distributor in your area. So, you’ll still need to compare energy plans and options to find one that is right for you and then get quotes.
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.
