Cheapest electricity plan on the Ausgrid network

As of 8 November 2026, the cheapest published electricity plan on the Ausgrid network (New South Wales) for a household using 4,000 kWh a year is Tango Energy's Everyday Easy at an estimated $86 a month (peak 15.70c/kWh 3pm to 8.59pm every day, off-peak 15.70c/kWh 9pm to 2.59pm every day plus 110.00c a day with solar feed-in 0.00c/kWh).

The dearest of the 292 plans from 26 retailers costs $192 a month and the median $145. At 2,000 kWh the cheapest is Tango Energy's Everyday Easy ($60 a month); at 6,000 kWh it is Tango Energy's Everyday Easy ($112 a month). The regulator's DMO 2026-27 reference price for this network is $1,899 a year at 3,900 kWh; the cheapest published plan at that usage is $1,014 a year, $885 below it. Figures are OpenStream's estimates from the supply and usage rates each retailer publishes to the Australian Energy Regulator, at the stated annual usage, GST as published and conditional discounts excluded; they are not retailer quotes. Demand-priced, variable-priced and solar-only plans are left out because they have no single honest figure.

How to read this

Every figure is OpenStream's estimate, not a retailer quote: the supply and usage rates each retailer publishes to the Australian Energy Regulator (via Energy Made Easy), applied to the stated annual usage, GST as published, conditional discounts excluded. Prices vary by distribution network, not postcode, so the network page is the record; it links every plan to its regulator entry and keeps a nightly history. Demand-priced, variable-priced and solar-only plans are left out because they have no single honest figure. Errors are possible - check the cited sources. Full method: methodology. Machine-readable: this answer as JSON, MCP, llms.txt.
