In one line
A household of two people in South Australia using the AER's benchmark of 5,047 kWh a year pays about $614 a quarter on the median published plan and $454 a quarter on the cheapest, iO Energy's Sustainable Home (Electrify), at today's prices on the SA Power Networks network. A quarterly bill above $614 at that usage is above the median of 241 plans; above $825 it is at the dearest. Read from the regulator's feed on 8 November 2026; check your own bill below.
