Energy contract mistake #1: not knowing what's in your exit clause.
You find a better energy deal. You're ready to switch.

Then you read the exit clause....

Early termination fees. Volume shortfall penalties. Notice periods of 60, 90, sometimes 180 days. In some commercial contracts, the cost of leaving early can run into thousands of dollars.

This is Energy Contract Mistake #1 โ€” and it catches businesses out more often than you'd think.

Here's what to check before you sign any energy contract:
๐Ÿ“‹ Early termination fee โ€” what does it cost to leave before the end date?
๐Ÿ“‹ Notice period โ€” how far in advance do you need to notify your retailer?
๐Ÿ“‹ Volume shortfall clause โ€” if your usage drops significantly, are you penalised?
๐Ÿ“‹ Rollover terms โ€” what happens if you don't act before the contract ends?

Victorian business owners โ€” here's a market update worth knowing. In June 2026, wholesale electricity spot prices in Victoria fell 74.7% year-on-year.^

That's the steepest fall of any mainland state, driven by strong renewables output, battery storage more than doubling compared with last year, and significantly lower gas generation.

What this means for Victorian businesses:
๐Ÿ“Œ Lower wholesale costs are flowing through to competitive market offers
๐Ÿ“Œ Businesses on contracts structured in 2024 or early 2025 may be paying rates that no longer reflect current market conditions
๐Ÿ“Œ Now is a good time to check whether your contract is capturing what the market has to offer

The market has moved. The question is whether your energy contract has moved with it.

AECO Energy helps Victorian businesses review their contracts and access competitive offers, independently, with no obligation.

Here's a number worth knowing: -๐Ÿฒ๐Ÿฏ.๐Ÿฐ%. That's how much wholesale electricity prices fell year-on-year across Australia's electricity grid in June 2026.^

The main drivers: renewables now supply 40.0% of the grid, battery discharge more than doubled year-on-year, and gas generation fell significantly.

What this means for businesses:
๐Ÿ“Œ Lower wholesale costs eventually flow through to competitive market offers
๐Ÿ“Œ Forward prices in NSW and QLD are at multi-year lows โ€” a window for contract action
๐Ÿ“Œ Wholesale spot prices don't directly equal your retail rate โ€” contract structure still matters

What happens when your energy contract expires?

Most business owners assume their energy contract just... stops. And they'll get a call from their retailer.

Here's what actually happens:

๐Ÿ“‹ Your contract rolls over automatically
Most energy contracts include a rollover clause โ€” when the fixed term ends, you move onto the retailer's default rate. This is almost always higher than your contracted rate โ€” and higher than the best available offer in the market.

๐Ÿ“‹ Your retailer doesn't have to tell you
There's no legal requirement for your retailer to proactively notify you that your contract has expired and you're now on a worse rate. Some do. Many don't.

๐Ÿ“‹ You could be overpaying for months โ€” or years
Businesses that miss their contract end date can end up on default rates for extended periods without realising it. The cost difference between a default rate and a competitive market offer can be significant.

AECO Energy helps businesses stay ahead of their contract, not caught out by it.

Something significant just happened in the energy market that every business owner in NSW and QLD should know about.

Forward electricity prices, the rates that underpin energy contracts, just fell to multi-year lows in New South Wales and Queensland.^

๐Ÿ“‰ NSW forward curve hit its lowest level since February 2022
๐Ÿ“‰ QLD forward curve reached its lowest point since January 2022
๐Ÿ“‰ Both states are now sitting 20โ€“22% below their 3-year averages

If you're approaching a contract renewal, this is one of the more favourable market windows in recent years to lock in pricing.AECO Energy helps businesses understand when to move and when to wait.

17 years ago, most Australian businesses accepted whatever energy price landed in their inbox. ๐—”๐—˜๐—–๐—ข ๐—˜๐—ป๐—ฒ๐—ฟ๐—ด๐˜† was founded on a different idea: that every business, not just the big ones, deserves access to real market intelligence and genuine competition when buying energy.

Since then, we've helped hundreds of Australian businesses stop overpaying. Not by luck. By having the right process, the right relationships, and the right tools to buy at the right time.

15%^ of small businesses across NSW, Queensland and South Australia are still on a standard energy offer. That means they're paying the maximum regulated price, not the most competitive one available.

With prices shifting from 1 July, the gap between a standard offer and the best available market deal has never been more visible.
