Business electricity that doesn't cost the earth.
Compare 8+ retailers in 24 hours, switch to a sharper rate, and keep your margin where it belongs, in your business. We do the legwork. You get the savings.
In short: a commercial electricity broker like Smarta compares 8+ retailers on your actual bill, then handles the switch end to end. For most South East Queensland businesses on an out-of-date contract that's a 10 to 25% saving. We're paid by the energy retailer when you switch, never by you.
Three things almost every business gets wrong on electricity.
You're on the wrong plan
Most SMEs sign up to a retailer's standing offer, then auto-renew year after year without re-quoting. Eighteen months in, you're paying 15–25% more than the market for the same kilowatt-hour.
Your tariff doesn't match your usage
A cafe with espresso machines firing from 6am has a different demand pattern to an office running 9–5. The same plan rarely suits both, and most retailers don't migrate you when better tariffs appear.
No one's checking your network charges
Half your bill isn't even electricity, it's network charges. The wrong network tariff classification can quietly cost you $1,500–3,000 a year. Hardly anyone reviews this.
We fix all three in one go.
Four levers we pull on every electricity quote.
Rate & supply charges. The headline c/kWh and the daily supply charge. Compared like-for-like across the SME panel, Origin, AGL, Momentum, EnergyAustralia, Powershop, Alinta, Shell Energy SME.
Network tariff classification. Whether you're on a small-business or large-business network tariff, and whether that's actually right for your site. Often it isn't, and a reclassification quietly saves $1k+ a year.
Contract structure. Fixed vs variable, contract term, exit fees, renewal terms. We model what works best for your usage pattern, not what suits a sales rep's quota.
Renewal protection. We diary your contract end date and re-bid the market 60–90 days before expiry. No silent auto-renewals onto default rates 15–30% above market.
