Inflation hits an extraordinary 5.1%, being the largest increase since the beginning of the century*. Next up = mortgage rates and energy bills? How much more pressure can Aussie households take?

The body that runs the electricity market (AEMO), said wholesale energy costs soared 141% in the three months to March 31 compared with the same period last year and households are urged to brace for an increase in their bills.

“There were two sides to this problem,” says Billy Explores’ founder, Lee Bush. “The first was some of the price increases and the other was lazy consumers. Even when some can save money, they may be too lazy to put the research in to find a cheaper alternative. This is where we entered the picture – Our service helps connect consumers with the comparison from a range of Australia’s leading energy retailers.* Quick & Simple”

The comparison process you are taken through is based on stated needs, data and results. You will be asked for basic details, such as your current energy retailer, postcode, name etc. You then are taken through the comparison process which may include potentially better value alternatives.

In the last few years alone, more than 200,000 Aussies¹ have enquired with Billy Explores’ , and this trend continues to increase every single month. As overall household expenses continue to rise, we can expect more and more people to use this service to help them potentially save money where they can.
