They are also paying $440 on average a year more than residents in centres like Bathurst and Orange.

Lifeline Central West executive Alex Ferguson said the inflated costs are largely due to the remoteness of locations like Dubbo, and the cost of providing maintenance in those areas.

The figures were compiled by a new cost comparison website www.mozo.com.au, which has compared energy costs across the state and confirmed people who live west of the Blue Mountains pay more for electricity.

Looking at the average electricity prices across the Central West based on a four person household, Dubbo, along with Cowra, tops the list at $599 per quarter, which equates to $2396 annually.

This is considerably more than people who live from Lithgow to Parramatta who pay $1739 annually, while people in Sydney or Newcastle pay $1744.

If you're in Bathurst, Orange and Mudgee you're looking at $489 per quarter, while Lithgow is lower at $404.

Mr Ferguson would like the government to look at adopting measures or concessions that ensures people in rural and remote areas aren't unfairly disadvantaged when paying for services that are a necessity on a day-to-day basis.

"You would like to think it is a level playing field with things like fuel and electricity but it isn't," he said.

"Motor vehicles in the bush are essential as there is very limited public transport, whereas in the city you have a genuine option.

"There isn't any compensation for that, and country people also have to pay more the fuel due to the cost of freighting it out here."

When looking at what industries and areas contribute to Australia's wealth, Mr Ferguson is adamant country areas are directly responsible for well over half the figure, but doesn't believe that is reflected when the wealth is distributed.

"Almost all of the money is generated in country areas whether it be mining or agriculture," he said.

"Agriculture is responsible for roughly 20 per cent of all income while mining is more like 30 to 40 per cent.

"But when the cake is split up, country communities often miss out on their slice.

"You would like to think it is a level playing field but with a lot of things like fuel and electricity it isn't."

While Mr Ferguson acknowledged it wasn't a fair system, he said there are other ways people can limit the amount they are paying for electricity every quarter.

"The best thing to do is price comparisons," he said.

"A lot of providers are giving discounts now if you pay by direct debit or if you sign up for an extended period.

"You should also set protocols at your house and that can make a big difference.

"If you can avoid cooling or heating a room that no one is in you should be doing that, and don't leave lights and things like that on all the time."

In August, one agency reported a 30 per cent rise in the number of people seeking help this winter compared to 2014, while another reported residents were seeking help to pay electricity bills.
