Frequently asked questions
This plan works best if you can shift your heavy electricity use between 11am-4pm. It is ideal if someone is home during the day, or if you can use timers and smart automation to run high electricity appliances (like dryers or hot water boosting) during 11am-4pm. If your house is empty all day or you do most of your cooking, heating, and laundry early in the morning or late at night, another plan may suit you better.
The free usage period is between 11:00 AM and 4:00 PM every day.
You get up to 15kWh of primary load electricity usage per day during the 11am-4pm window. Any usage exceeding 15kWh will be charged at standard Time of Use rates.
A digital smart meter is required to accurately track and deduct your free midday usage. If you don't have one, our team can help organise an upgrade.
Controlled loads and daily supply charges still apply during the free usage period.
You can absolutely still use this plan. However the Red Power5 plan features a Solar Feed-in Tariff (FiT) of 0 cents/kWh and is specifically designed as a "solar sharer" offer for households without solar or batteries to benefit from midday energy prices.
No. Switching to this plan means you will give up other plan benefits, such as earning Qantas Points or contributing to partner charities like the Breast Cancer Network Australia (BCNA).
