Cheapest electricity plan on the Energex network

As of 8 November 2026, the cheapest published electricity plan on the Energex network (Queensland) for a household using 4,000 kWh a year is AGL's Residential Three for Free at an estimated $94 a month (peak 44.45c/kWh 4pm to 8.59pm every day, shoulder 0.00c/kWh 11am to 1.59pm every day, off-peak 7.36c/kWh 2pm to 3.59pm every day plus 160.06c a day with solar feed-in 15.00c/kWh).

The dearest of the 334 plans from 25 retailers costs $187 a month and the median $133. At 2,000 kWh the cheapest is Nectr's Home Buzz TOU - October 2026 ($65 a month); at 6,000 kWh it is AGL's Residential Three for Free ($117 a month). The regulator's DMO 2026-27 reference price for this network is $1,988 a year at 4,600 kWh; the cheapest published plan at that usage is $1,210 a year, $778 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.
