Don't forget that Powershop charge different rates depending on Time of Use, so you may need to factor that in ie if you are currently charging at night the ToU tariff is smaller than if you charge during the day.Just did my comparisons, I think I'll stay with PowerShop:
If I change to AGL then:
- Over the past 12months I have averaged 22.82KW's per day (car included)
- Due to paying online (via my iPhone with the GetUp Deal) and in advance my average KW rate has been $0.1942 per KW and $0.9404 supply daily charge
Therefore since I use 10KW's per day as an average on the car the figures work out like this:
- My KW for the house will be charged at $0.2475 and a daily supply charge of $1.26
- My car at $1 per day
With PowerShop: ((22.82 x $0.1942) + $0.9404) x 7 x 52 / 12 = $162.85 average monthly bill
With AGL: (((22.82 - 10) x $0.2475) + $1 + $1.26) x 7 x 52 / 12 = $1.64.80 average monthly bill
I guess if all of a sudden I started trying more than 10KWs of energy per day AGL would work out cheaper, however the more house hold electricity I use then closes this gap.
Seems staying with PowerShop, paying in advance is still cheaper.
At first the AGL looked great, and in isloation from the house is....when the full picture is taken in to account the landscape changes.

Does AGL's offer cover daytime or nighttime or both?
I'm with Powershop, btw- i really like them, and ive been spruiking them to others. My previous supplier was just abusing me, really.
If you want to sign with Powershop, let me know and I'll donate the referral fee to a mutually-agreed charity.
