| Plan Type | Contract Length | Features | Early Termination Fee | Our Thoughts |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Fixed Rate Plan | 6 months |

$150 |
In general we would probably recommend a longer-term fixed rate option, but choosing a six-month contract could be more convenient for some (e.g. if you think you might be moving house in the near future). |

Includes a $4.95 base charge |
None |

How No-Deposit Plans Work
Instead of receiving a monthly bill for your past power consumption, with prepaid power you pay for your electricity in blocks, topping it off as you use it. The main advantage of prepaid electricity plans is that they don't require security deposits or credit checks. However, rates are often higher than "postpaid" options, and disconnection procedures are often much shorter. Find out more about prepaid plans in our guide.
