On this plan, you will benefit from variable electricity usage rates during weekdays, as well as lower variable electricity rates from Saturday - Sunday.
Here’s an explanation of Power Shift’s hours:
-
Peak Hours: 7am - 11am and 5pm - 9pm.
- During these hours, electricity rates are higher due to increased demand. It's best to minimise the usage of high-energy appliances during these times.
-
Off-Peak Hours: 11am - 5pm and 9pm - 11pm.
- During these hours, electricity rates are lower than peak hours. This is a good time to run appliances like washing machines, dishwashers and vacuum cleaners.
-
Night Hours: 11pm - 7am.
- This is the most affordable time to use electricity. A good time to charge EV’s or anything with a battery.
-
Half Price Weekends: Saturday 12am - Sunday 11:59pm.
- All electricity used between Saturday 12am and Sunday 11:59pm is half price. The more electricity usage that you shift into the weekends, the more money you can save.
