The Member for Oxley, Melinda Pavey welcomed the new cost-of-living initiative and encouraged residents to test out the new price comparison and switching tool.
“Energy Switch is a game changer for NSW households trying to reduce cost of living pressure. There are a lot of Government price comparison websites – but this takes things to the next level,” Mrs Pavey said.
“It enables people to compare charges and lock in a better deal with the click of a mouse or a quick chat with Service NSW.”
She said that Energy Switch used a customer’s latest e-bill to scan the entire retail electricity market and provide a list of the cheapest three electricity plans available based on their individual usage profile.
“If a switch is requested, Service NSW will inform the energy provider, taking the leg work out of the process for the customer.
“We know power prices are a pinch-point for many households which is why this service has been established to help reduce the cost of living.”
