Cheapest electricity plan in Queensland
As of 8 November 2026, the cheapest published electricity plan in 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), on the Energex network.
Prices depend on which of the state's 2 distribution networks a home is on: the cheapest plan ranges from $94 a month on Energex to $123 on Ergon Energy. 366 published plans were priced across the state. 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.
