Choice launches energy service that will automatically switch customers to best deal

Choice compares prices from electricity retailers and handles switch to most economic deals

The consumer group Choice has launched a $99 service to compare prices from electricity retailers, monitor them for 12 months and automatically switch subscribers to the best deal.

Canisaveonenergy.com.au, which was launched on Monday, allows consumers to upload a recent power bill PDF and find out how much they could save with a new service based on a price comparison from 33 providers. However, they won't be told which retailer is offering the best deal unless they pay the annual fee.
