Understanding electricity Bills

Your electricity bill in Coffs Harbour has a few key parts to watch for, like supply charges, usage rates, and extra fees. Knowing what each charge means can make it easier to spot savings and compare different providers more accurately.

Supply Charges

Are the fixed daily cost of staying connected to the grid, even if you haven’t used much power.

Usage Rates

Are based on how much electricity you’ve actually used, usually shown in cents per kilowatt-hour (kWh).

How to calculate your Energy Bill

Here are some ways you can get the most out of your home energy plan.

Step 1

Jot down your main appliances
and their energy ratings.

Step 2

Estimate how long
each one runs each day.

Step 3

Multiply that by the kWh rate
on your bill for a rough monthly total.

If that feels like a lot, there are plenty of online calculators to do the maths for you. Getting an idea of your usage can also make it easier to compare rates and spot areas to save.

Factors impacting energy cost
in Coffs Harbour

Electricity Cost Factors

Electricity costs can vary widely based on factors like season, weather, and grid demand.

Demand Impact

For example, summer’s hot days often mean higher air-con use, which can drive up rates.

Network Fees

Network fees, which cover the upkeep of infrastructure, also add to overall costs.

Rate Changes

Understanding these factors helps explain rate changes and may reveal ways to save during high demand.

Electricity and Gas FAQs

Here are some of the most frequently asked questions we receive about electricity and gas:

How do energy costs in NSW compare to the other states?

It can vary greatly between states. In 2019/20, for example, South Australians paid the highest rates per kilowatt hour (37.68c), followed by NSW (30.45c), VIC (29.28c), the ACT (27.50c), QLD (25.45c), and TAS (24.59c).

Is the NSW energy market different from other states?

Energy markets are regulated independently, so there are differences between states. The DMO cap only applies to NSW, SA and Southeast QLD. That means the rest of QLD, VIC, ACT, WA, TAS and the NT all operate under different market regulations.

Can I get any concessions and rebates on my energy in NSW?

Absolutely. The NSW government offers a range of energy concessions and rebates. Compare Club can help you find the right rebates for you. You can find a full list of concessions at Service NSW's website.

Are there any solar providers in NSW?

There certainly are. Red Energy, Alinta Energy, EnergyAustralia, Lumo Energy, Origin, AGL, Dodo and Aurora Energy all provide solar energy services in NSW.

Are there any green energy providers in NSW?

Most energy providers in NSW offer customers the option to contribute a carbon-offset fee, or to sign up for a GreenPower plan (essentially a carbon offsetting program). Beyond carbon offsetting, Powershop and Diamond Energy have been ranked as high-performing green energy providers.

Powershop owns wind farms and hydro plants in New South Wales, and Diamond Energy owns biogas plants along with solar and wind farms.
