What powering your home costs and what help is on offer:
price resets, rebate schemes and their fine print, every figure dated and linked
to the document that sets it.
Benchmark prices fell in NSW, south east Queensland, Victoria and regional
Queensland, and rose in SA and WA. There is no national power price, only five
different resets under five different laws, and your region's number is in one
table with its assumptions shown.
Full support stops at the first 14 kWh, 60 per cent carries to 28 kWh and
15 per cent to 50 kWh. What a 13.5, 20, 30 or 45 kWh quote actually gets since
1 May 2026, with the working shown.
The federal discount applies everywhere, WA and the ACT add real money on
top, Victoria tightened its income cap, and several schemes households still
read about are closed. We say plainly which state pages we could not verify on
publication day.
