Telco and energy provider Dodo has slashed the rates on its flagship electricity deal, Market Offer, by more than 10% for new customers in Melbourne.
The plan, which offers variable rates on a no lock-in contract, has significantly reduced in price for new customers on Melbourne’s CitiPower network, with about $139 or 10.12% shaved off the estimated annual price.
It’s the first time since June 2022 that Dodo has made any changes to the rates on its Market Offer in the state, according to Canstar Blue’s historic price changes report, after the retailer significantly increased pricing in lieu of volatile wholesale pricing last winter.
While not the cheapest electricity offer currently available in Melbourne, the change has seen Dodo’s Market Offer now sitting at 4% less than the Victorian Default Offer (VDO) – the ‘capped’ price for power in the area. Prior to this, the deal was sitting at 6% more than the VDO for customers on the CitiPower network.
Market Offer comes with monthly billing options and the ability to opt-in to a percentage of GreenPower for a small additional fee. A solar feed-in tariff of 5.2c per kilowatt hour (kWh) is also available to customers with solar panels.
These rates are effective for new customers who sign up to this offer in the Melbourne area at the time of publication. Please note, existing customers on this offer may not be impacted by this change. If you are already signed up to Dodo’s Market Offer in the Melbourne area, it is best to check your latest bill or emails for any communication around potential rate changes.
For further details or specifics around plan information it is best to visit the Dodo website and be sure to always check with the provider directly before signing up to an offer.
