Anytime
This rate is for the supply of electricity at the same price 24 hours a day. Supply to this type of meter cannot be "controlled".
Controlled
This rate is for the controlled supply of electricity to selected appliances that are permanently wired to a separate meter. This means that the electricity supply for a hot water cylinder, for example, can be turned off during peak times for an allocated period determined by the Network company.
Composite
This rate is a combination of the Anytime and Controlled rates but electricity is supplied through a single meter. Supply to permanently wired appliances, e.g. a hot water cylinder, can be turned off during peak times for an allocated period determined by the network company.
Day/Night (uncontrolled)
These rates are for customers who use an above-average amount of electricity at night. Different rates apply for day (typically 7am-11pm) and night (typically 11pm-7am). There are no restrictions on which electrical appliances you use at night; you choose when you want to operate them.
Night Only
This rate is for the supply of electricity to a separately metered appliance that is used only at night, e.g. a night storage heater. This is usual for an 8 hour period between 11pm and 7am.
Night Plus/Night Boost
This rate is for the supply of electricity to a separately metered appliance that is used only at night, e.g. a night storage heater. Typically this will be for an 8 hour period between 11pm and 7am and includes a "boost" period. The appliances are permanently wired to a separate meter and the electricity supply is subject to unscheduled interruptions.
Triple Booster
These rates are only available for electricity supply to 3-register meters with consumption of more than 25,000kWh per year. Triple Saver has different rates for night, peak and off-peak times. Typically Night rates apply between 11pm - 7am, Peak rates apply between 7am - 11am and 5pm - 9pm and Off-Peak rates apply between 11am - 5pm and 9pm - 11pm.
Day/Night (controlled)
These rates are for the controlled supply of electricity to selected appliances that are permanently wired to a separate meter. Different rates apply for day (typically 8am - 12am) and night (typically 12am - 8am).
Important notes:
kWh = kilowatt hour, 1 kWh = 1 unit of gas.
The daily fixed charge applies to each Installation Control Point (ICP).
