We have a number of price plans available. To determine which is the best plan for you, it's important to consider the amount of electricity you use and the metering set-up at your property. The following information explains this in more detail.

We also offer special discounts with all our price plans, such as a 10% Prompt Payment Discount when you pay your bill by the discount expiry date. Please click here to find out more about discounts.

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, click here.
