Switching to Ampol Energy
Q. What is the reference price?
A. The reference price is a benchmark price for electricity set by the Australian Government. It’s based on average electricity use in your area. You can compare different plans to the reference price to find a good deal. Electricity companies must use a percentage to show you how their advertised price compares to the reference price. This makes it easy for you to compare different electricity plans and prices.
You can find out more about the reference price here.

If you’re concerned about interruptions to your power supply, it’s worth checking this with your current retailer as well.
