HOW DO FREE POWER DAYS WORK?

 

A Free Power Day is 24 hours of free electricity for you to enjoy and includes all applicable usage, lines, EA levy or Electricity Market Fee and GST for that day.*

You could cook all day and fill the freezer, cool down with the air con or cosy up with the heater while watching your favourite movies. Get the power tools out and finally get around to starting those home improvements. Whatever you choose to do, enjoy making the most of it!

* If you do not have a smart meter or we cannot measure your actual usage, we will estimate your credit based on your average daily usage plus 50%. For full details, see our Terms here
