How we worked this out
The Victorian Default Offer fell about 5% from 1 July 2026, to a state average of $1,591 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.

Our take on Werribee and Werribee South
Werribee has an unusual NBN split for the outer west: a large block of premises on fibre to the premises, but also thousands still on HFC cable, which is faster than copper but behaves differently. If you are on HFC, speed tiers up to the top are normally available, but the technology matters when comparing offers, so check yours first. Werribee South is a different story: about 29% of its premises are on fixed wireless, so that is the part of the postcode where checking availability and comparing providers matters most. On power, compare the supply charge, because a high-use household will feel the usage rate more but a low-use household will feel the supply charge.

Moving to Werribee and Werribee South? Getting power and internet connected
Werribee has a mix of older houses and newer estates, so the NBN technology varies street by street. Check your address before booking an internet plan, because a new connection can need an installer visit if the premises are not yet connected. Arrange electricity a week or two before moving in. Werribee South addresses are more likely to be on fixed wireless or older infrastructure, so confirm availability early.
