RETAIL & PHARMACIES

Energy support for retailers and pharmacies.

From a local shop to a growing store network, understand your costs and manage the work behind them.

The state of play

Retail income grew 2.8% in 2024–25 across the Australian sector. That headline does not describe every shop. Pharmacies also operate within the Eighth Community Pharmacy Agreement, running to June 2029.

Electricity decisions still need to fit your own opening hours, equipment, lease and budget.

Australian retail trade in 2024–25: total income up 2.8%, EBITDA up 4.4%, employment down 0.5%.

Connect your operating needs with the right review.

One shop or pharmacy

Start with the bill, check the full cost and compare suitable small-business plans. An embedded-network tenancy may need a different route.

Compare a business bill

Larger stores and groups

Bring contracts, renewal dates and site requirements into one review. Different sites may qualify for different markets and tariffs.

Explore C&I procurement

For pharmacies storing vaccines, cost reviews must respect cold-chain procedures. Essential refrigeration must remain protected.

Support between renewals

Metering, accounts, network tariffs and renewable certificate procurement can all form part of the review. Customer portal and ESG reporting are coming soon.
