Compare energy plans in NSW — send us your bill
Paying too much for power in New South Wales is easy to miss. Plans change, discounts expire, and the offer you signed up for may no longer be the best one for how you actually use energy.
Bill Ninja is a free energy bill check for homes and small businesses in NSW. 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 NSW
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.
NSW has three electricity distributors:
- Ausgrid covers inner, northern and eastern Sydney, the Central Coast and the Hunter.
- Endeavour Energy covers Greater Western Sydney, the Blue Mountains, the Southern Highlands and the Illawarra and South Coast.
- Essential Energy covers country and regional NSW, including the lower South Coast.
If you have gas, Jemena Gas Networks serves Sydney, Newcastle, the Central Coast, Wollongong and parts of country NSW. Australian Gas Networks serves Albury and Wagga Wagga, APA Group serves Tamworth, and Evoenergy serves some customers in Queanbeyan, Bungendore and parts of the Nowra and Bomaderry area.
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
For a complaint about your energy retailer or distributor in NSW that you can't resolve with the company, contact the Energy and Water Ombudsman NSW (EWON) on 1800 246 545.

A: Yes. Essential Energy's network covers country and regional NSW, and we compare plans for those postcodes on Energy Made Easy in the same way we do for Sydney and the coast.
A: The report is free. If we find a cheaper plan and you're happy, tip what feels fair. If we don't find a saving, you pay nothing. You don't have to switch.
