Compare energy plans in Victoria — send us your bill
Victoria uses its own government comparison site, not Energy Made Easy. If you haven't checked your plan for a while, it's worth seeing what Victorian Energy Compare lists for your usage.
Bill Ninja is a free energy bill check for homes and small businesses in Victoria. Send us a recent electricity or gas bill. We compare your usage against plans listed on Victorian Energy Compare, the Victorian 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 Victoria
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.
Victoria has five electricity distributors:
- CitiPower covers the city and inner suburbs.
- Powercor covers the western suburbs and western Victoria.
- Jemena covers the northern and north-western suburbs.
- AusNet Services covers the outer northern and eastern suburbs and eastern Victoria.
- United Energy covers the southern suburbs and the Mornington Peninsula.
The three gas distributors are Australian Gas Networks, Multinet and AusNet Services.
Victorian retail energy is regulated by the Essential Services Commission, not the Australian Energy Regulator. The Victorian Default Offer is a standing offer set by the Commission. It is a safety-net price, not necessarily the cheapest plan available, which is why a comparison on Victorian Energy Compare is still worth doing. You can also use the site yourself at compare.energy.vic.gov.au.
If you have a complaint
For a complaint about your energy retailer or distributor in Victoria that you can't resolve with the company, contact the Energy and Water Ombudsman Victoria (EWOV) on 1800 500 509.
