WHY ENERGY SAVINGS ARE POSSIBLE
IPART’s latest reports on NSW retail electricity and gas markets show rising energy prices are challenging consumers, but savings are possible. Many households pay more than necessary by not switching plans, and about one-third do not review their energy offers annually.

New 2026 rules will simplify rebates and switching, while gas use continues to decline as electrification grows.
