The range of tariffs reflects the characteristics of different types of customers, the demands that their energy use places on the network and the typical costs of serving those customers. These are determined by Tas Networks and vary based on the meter configuration at each property.
The residential Tariffs we support are
Time of Use (TAS93)
This tariff has 2 rates of usage charges Peak and Off-peak to try and encourage less use during peak time to reduce demand on the network. This is reflected in the price being high during peak times and lower in off-peak.
- Peak is 07:00 – 10:00 and 16:00 – 21:00 weekdays
- Off-peak is between 21:00 – 07:00 and 10:00 – 16:00 weekdays and all day on weekends
Anytime (TAS31)
The anytime tariff means no matter what time of day you use energy you are charged the same rate.
