Finder's energy experts tasked themselves with finding the best electricity and gas plan for each state (where applicable).
- We compared electricity and gas plans from 20+ providers across the different states. The top 5 plans in each state were chosen based on their competitive pricing.
- Each plan in our state-based shortlist was given a value score which took into account specific features from each provider. These included local customer support, live chat options, mobile app availability, whether it charged a credit card fee or had any deals on offer. We also checked if it was a winner or finalist in Finder's 2022 Customer Satisfaction Awards and had any standout green credentials.
- Our top picks were finalised based on how well they did across each of the features listed.
