Tariff 24 A

A demand tariff designed to help you save during the day and night time off-peak periods and is for customers that minimise peak demand between 4pm and 9pm weekdays.

This tariff has lower demand rates and higher usage rates than 24B and may be suitable for customers with high demand loads and low usage levels. This tariff may be suitable for customers who aren’t familiar with demand tariffs, so 24A can be an introductory tariff before moving to 24B. All rates include GST.

Peak Demand Period: 4pm to 9pm weekdays

Tariff 24 B

A similar demand tariff to 24A, this tariff is designed to help you save during the day and night time off-peak periods and is for customers that have a clear understanding of how to minimise peak demand between 4pm and 9pm weekdays. All rates include GST.

Peak Demand Period: 4pm to 9pm weekdays

Tariff 34

Tariff 34 is a small business-controlled load tariff. The benefit of Tariff 34 is a lower usage rate, because supply will be available for a minimum of 18 hours per day for customers but may be reduced in an emergency. Times when supply is available is subject to variation at the absolute discretion of Ergon Network.

It’s like Tariff 33 which is commonly used for hot water and pool pumps except Tariff 34 is a primary tariff, and is more suited to larger business or farming style equipment including irrigation pumps and electric vehicle charging stations. All rates include GST.

Tariff 34 is only available to small business customers while Tariff 33 is available to BOTH small business and residential customers, but as a secondary tariff.
