If you’re living in an embedded network, you have the right as an electricity consumer to be able to switch your electricity retailer – however, embedded network customers may find this a little more difficult than usual, and it may come with additional fees.
You may need to ask the site owner what you need to do to switch retailers (e.g. whether your current electricity meter is suitable or if you’ll have to purchase a new one). Once you have a suitable meter, you may be able to compare the electricity market for market offers.
You may also have to ask your new retailer for an ‘electricity only’ plan that does not include supply fees; otherwise, you may have to pay the supply cost for the embedded network and for your new retailer.
Compare the Market may offer electricity plans for embedded networks customers that have a residential meter. However, if we cannot match your National Meter Identifier (NMI), our online comparison service may return less electricity offers as a result. If the embedded network is registered as having a business meter, we will not be able to offer you electricity plans at this time.
