Pricing options based on your electricity consumption and meter setup
In your network we have two price plans available - these are dependent on your
energy usage and apply to all properties that are a primary residence*:
-
Low User Plans
This is the best option for those who use less than 8,000 kWh per year.
-
Standard Plans
This is the best option for those who use more than 8,000 kWh per year
*Where a property is not a primary residence, only the Standard
User Plan is available. For more information,
