Is my bill high?
Is my electricity bill high for a four person household in Tasmania?
In one line
A household of four people in Tasmania using the AER's benchmark of 10,821 kWh a year pays about $818 a quarter on the median published plan and $667 a quarter on the cheapest, Solstice Energy's Standard Residential Time of Use + Off Peak Night, at today's prices on the TasNetworks network. A quarterly bill above $818 at that usage is above the median of 75 plans; above $974 it is at the dearest. Read from the regulator's feed on 8 November 2026; check your own bill below.
