As of the 1 July 2012, Australians will have access a new independent comparison website called Energy Made Easy launched by the Australian Energy Regulator.

The Federal Government’s Energy Made Easy website will enable consumers to compare rates and discounts from all electricity and gas suppliers in Victoria, New South Wales, South Australia, ACT, Queensland and Tasmania.

The Energy Made Easy website is a practical tool for consumers looking to find a suitable energy offer for the home or small business.

It compares rates in most Australian states so it’s a handy tool to have if you are moving home or are unsure of which energy provider to choose.

Energy Made Easy will allow comparison of GreenPower options or solar feed-in tariffs for the increasing number of consumers installing solar panels or looking for a renewable energy plan.

The Energy Made Easy website joins a number of online energy comparison sites already available.

Unlike online comparison sites, an energy broker like Energy Quotes can provide free one-on-one advice over the phone to consumers about their energy plan.

Energy Quotes consultants can provide consumers with the information they need to choose the right energy plan for their household or small business, based on their actual energy needs, Experts at Energy Quotes understand the range of gas and electricity rates on offer and can answer all your questions in relation to potential savings made by switching to a lower cost provider, length of contract and any early exit fees.

Energy Quotes has access to competitive offers and discounts from a large range of energy providers to help consumers save. Many consumers have picked up better deals than those listed on online comparison sites by dealing with an energy broker such as Energy Quotes.
