They ignored every single communication. We reached out to a private data feed provider who quoted us $10k per year for a replacement feed. That seemed like a fair deal &#8211; until we saw the contract. The contract said the data-feed provider would have a veto on any application of the feed we were paying for. The provider said they would not allow us to use the data feed for our free, non-monetised electricity plan comparison tool. So we are building our own data feed. Which is a stupidly big job. Please bear with us.\u00a0<\/p>\r\n<\/blockquote>\r\n<p>While the information it presents should still be nearly all up to date I can&#8217;t be certain it&#8217;s accurate, so I&#8217;ll work out how much benefit a Click Energy plan will provide by hand.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\r\n<h2>Comparison Capitals<\/h2>\r\n<p>I&#8217;ll investigate the benefits of a Click Energy plan in every capital they&#8217;re available:<\/p>\r\n<ul>\r\n<li>Adelaide<\/li>\r\n<li>Brisbane<\/li>\r\n<li>Melbourne<\/li>\r\n<li>Sydney<\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\n<p>I&#8217;ll let you decide for yourself if I&#8217;ve arranged these cities by alphabetical order or how awesome their inhabitants are.<\/p>\r\n<h2>Household Characteristics<\/h2>\r\n<p>I&#8217;ll determine what a reasonably typical household&#8217;s annual electricity bill will be in each capital under a Click Energy plan and compare it to the best alternative I can find.\u00a0 To keep things simple I&#8217;ll just consider plans with standard tariffs that charge a flat rate per kilowatt-hour of grid electricity.\u00a0<\/p>\r\n<p>For my comparison household I&#8217;ve chosen a solar system size and total annual electricity consumption that should be a good match for a Click Energy plan while still being fairly typical:<\/p>\r\n<ul>\r\n<li>4,500 kilowatt-hours total annual electricity consumption.<\/li>\r\n<li>A 5 kilowatt solar inverter with 6.6 kilowatts of north-facing panels.<\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\n<p>This much annual electricity consumption is fairly typical for smaller households, but may not apply for large families or those who have pools, electric cars, underfloor electric heating, or members who get too carried away with climate control.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\r\n<p>A <a href=\"https:\/\/www.solarquotes.com.au\/systems\/6kw\/\">6.6 kilowatt solar system<\/a> is just short of the maximum panel capacity a 5 kilowatt inverter can have, which is the largest inverter capacity Click Energy allows.\u00a0 Because the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.solarquotes.com.au\/panels\/direction\/\">panels face north<\/a> they&#8217;ll generate the maximum amount of energy possible. \u00a0<\/p>\r\n<h2>Solar Self Consumption<\/h2>\r\n<p>Solar self-consumption is how much solar energy the household consumes itself and I&#8217;ll consider two different scenarios &#8212; medium and low.\u00a0 I&#8217;ll look at medium self-consumption because it represents a typical household, but I&#8217;ll also specifically look at low self-consumption because I know a lot of people who are out of their home for most of the day believe electricity plans with the highest feed-in tariff are likely to be the best for them and I want to check if this is true.<br \/><br \/><strong>Medium Solar Self Consumption:<\/strong>\u00a0 A typical household consuming around 4,500 kilowatt-hours of electricity in total per year can expect to self consume around 20% of the energy a 6.6 kilowatt solar system with north-facing panels produces.\u00a0 I&#8217;ll use this figure for Adelaide, Brisbane, and Sydney, but I&#8217;ll bump it up to 22% for Melbourne as lower solar generation there tends to increase self-consumption.\u00a0<\/p>\r\n<p>Medium self-consumption can represent a home where there are often people around during the day but which is still left empty for considerable stretches of time.\u00a0 Or it could be a home where people are usually out for most of the day but a significant effort has been made to shift electricity consumption to the daytime.\u00a0 For example, timers have been used to switch on water systems, pool filters, and potentially other devices during the day.\u00a0<\/p>\r\n<p><strong>Low Solar Self Consumption:<\/strong>\u00a0 This represents a home where people are usually out during the day without a great deal of effort made to shift consumption to the daytime.\u00a0 I&#8217;ll assume the household uses 10% of solar energy generated except in Melbourne, where I&#8217;ll use 11%.\u00a0 Because more solar energy is being exported under this condition it will give Click&#8217;s high feed-in tariffs an opportunity to shine.\u00a0 But because it also results in higher grid consumption, Click Energy&#8217;s high per kilowatt-hour charges will take a toll.\u00a0 Unless you&#8217;re some sort of mathematical genius it&#8217;s not really possible to tell without crunching the numbers.\u00a0<\/p>\r\n<p><div class=\"youtube-wrapper\"><iframe title=\"Homer and the math\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\"

of which have a floral theme &#8212; I compared them to the best competing plan I could find and put the results below.\u00a0 Charges and feed-in tariffs are in cents and kWh stands for kilowatt-hour.<\/p>\r\n<h2>Adelaide<\/h2>\r\n<p>In Adelaide, Click Energy has two equally good plans &#8212; Flora and Flora Solar &#8212; and they went head to head with AGL Solar Savers.\u00a0 The two fighter&#8217;s vital statistics are:<\/p>\r\n<ul>\r\n<li>Click Flora Solar:\u00a0 Daily supply charge 101.64,\u00a0 kWh charge 36.52,\u00a0 Feed-in tariff 17 cents<\/li>\r\n<li>AGL Solar Savers:\u00a0 Daily supply Charge 88.43,\u00a0 kWh charge 37.73,\u00a0 Feed-in tariff 16 cents<\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\n<p>Unlike in the other capitals, Click&#8217;s per kilowatt-hour charge is lower than the best alternative plan I could find for the household.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\r\n<h2>Adelaide: 20% Solar Self Consumption<\/h2>\r\n<p>With medium, 20% solar self-consumption, both plans end up in
