Business Small Supply
Tariff Rates
Depending upon whether your business premises has a time-of-use meter or a flat pricing meter will determine what type of tariff is charged to you. Flat pricing rates charge an initial rate for your consumption and then change to a higher rate when a quarterly threshold is exceeded. Time-of-use tariffs are comprised of peak, shoulder and off-peak usage rates & daily supply charges. These rates are set by the respective State regulatory body and include your distribution network charges.
Tariffs determine how your energy is billed. The factors that impact upon what tariff a business is charged are:
- What State is my business in?
- What distribution network is my business in?
- What type of meter does my business have? Is it a standard meter or a time-of-use meter?
All prices exclude GST.
