Compare energy plans in the ACT — send us your bill

Canberra households and small businesses can compare energy plans on the same national government site used in NSW, Queensland, South Australia and Tasmania.

Bill Ninja is a free energy bill check for homes and small businesses in the ACT. Send us a recent electricity or gas bill. We compare your usage against plans listed on Energy Made Easy, the Australian Government's free comparison site, and send you a plain-English report showing any cheaper plans we find. There is no upfront fee and no card needed. If the report helps and you're happy, you can tip what feels fair. If we don't find a saving, you pay nothing. We take no commissions from energy retailers.

How it works

Snap a photo or upload a PDF of a recent bill (about two minutes). We use the details on the bill, including your National Meter Identifier (NMI) — a 10 or 11-character code that identifies your electricity meter — to look up your usage and compare plans accurately. Most reports are ready within about 24 hours. You decide whether to switch. If you do, it usually takes a few minutes online or one phone call to the new retailer.

No bill yet? If you're moving house or setting up energy for the first time, you can answer a few quick questions and we'll compare plans for your postcode instead.

Networks in the ACT

Your distributor owns the poles and wires (or the gas pipes). It's not the same company as your retailer, who sells you the energy. The distributor is usually named on your bill.

The main electricity and gas distributor in the ACT is Evoenergy. Essential Energy also serves some customers in the ACT, and some remote systems are run by other companies.

We compare the retail plans available for your address on Energy Made Easy. You can also check the site yourself at energymadeeasy.gov.au.

If you have a complaint

The ACT does not have a dedicated energy ombudsman. If you have a complaint about your energy retailer or distributor that you can't resolve with the company, contact the ACT Civil and Administrative Tribunal (ACAT) on 02 6207 1740.
