Same 4,000 kWh a year on every plan published for this network. Demand-priced and variable-priced plans left out: they have no single honest figure.
Against the VDO 2026-27 reference price
The regulator sets a reference bill for this network each July: $1,481 a year for a household using 4,000 kWh. Here is where today's published plans sit at that same usage.

The range above is the same network, the same usage. Where your own bill sits in it is the one thing this page cannot know.
Plans on CitiPower run from $84 to $193 a month at 4,000 kWh a year. Take the postcode, the average daily kWh and the amount from your bill and check where it sits: how many published plans would cost less, which is cheapest, and what it would save.
