Average Energy Usage & Energy Companies

[ofey]

Background
I'm interested always to try and help everyone cut the cost of living so I want to garner some information.

One of the biggest bills we face is that of Energy. Electricity and Gas.

I'd like to gather the data regarding all our states which I will add below. You should be able to add all the information from your bill in the format I've shown below. So just copy and paste and fill in your details. all the information should be on your bill.

I hope all of you can help contribute to this and help each other save more. I don't think there's a better supplier than mine in VIC. I'm not advertising but I want to know if my research is any good.

I'm moving to a new place and just organized the electricity and gas through one of those one stop shops that connects utilities for you free of charge.

When I asked which company are they connecting me to they said Lumo. I thought it sounded familiar WIN
