What is Default Market Offer (DMO) in NSW?

There is several way to compare Energy plans in NSW. If you want to find cheapest electricity plans, you need to know Default Market Offer (DMO).

Default Market Offer (DMO) is the reference price which is set by government to protect and inform consumers. And this DMO has two main functions:

1. To protect consumers from exponential energy prices if they choose not to engage with the energy market and instead remain on the Standing Offer. While the Standing Offer doesn’t necessarily offer the cheapest energy rates on the market it does prevent energy providers from charging you more if you don’t qualify for, or choose not to subscribe to, a discounted Market Offer.
2. To inform consumers about energy plan prices and how much less (or in some instances more) expensive an energy retailers market offer is, compared to the standard offer. This is often shown as “X% off the Reference Price” in the details about an energy providers electricity plan.

Here is the Default Market Offer (DMO) by Distribution Network.

If I switch electricity providers, how much less will my electricity bill be below the Default Market Offer (DMO)?

It depends on energy provider and plans you will switch to. For example, SUMO Assure offers the price 15% less than Default Market Offer (DMO).
