PSA re the Vic energy comparison website:

Make sure you tick the boxes to include all plans, not just the single tarrif plans. The time of use plans might be cheaper for you, but you won't see them with the settings it defaults to.

The settings are in the sidebar

Not many options when you want Green only. Last I looked the saving wasn’t enough to bother with the fuss of switching.

Sumo came out first and second for me, with their time of use plan saving me a few hundred dollars over the year compared to the flat tarrif.
