How we worked this out
The Victorian Default Offer fell about 5% from 1 July 2026, to a state average of $1,629 a year. Victoria has the most competitive retail market in the country and the widest gap between the default price and the best offers. Inner Melbourne (CitiPower) sits at the low end of the rate range and outer zones (AusNet) at the high end.
Typical bills use average single-rate residential rates for 2026–27 (effective 1 July 2026), from the AER Default Market Offer and ESC Victorian Default Offer determinations, reviewed 20 July 2026. Cheapest plan figures come from live retailer plan data published under the Consumer Data Right, refreshed weekly. Your bill depends on your retailer, tariff type, meter and usage pattern. This is a guide, not a quote.
