Tasmanian residential prices are regulated and Aurora Energy supplies almost all households, so there is effectively no retail market to switch within. Reducing usage, or adding solar, is where the saving comes from here.
How we worked this out
Tasmania has among the lowest usage rates in Australia thanks to its hydro generation base, though households use more electricity than the mainland average because of colder winters and electric heating.
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.
