How does my meter affect the rate I pay?

There’s a few different things that affect pricing, including how your meter is set up. This is called your tariff.

 

The price you pay per unit (kilowatt per hour) depends on:

  • where you live – different lines companies or networks in different regions have different ways of pricing
  • how your meter is set up – some examples include Anytime, Night, All Day Economy and Night Boost
  • whether you are a standard or low user

The way a meter is set up is usually decided by whoever built the property and is based on how the property is used..  For example, the meter setup for a four-bedroom house with a garage will have a different meter setup to a one-bedroom flat.   

Different meter setups will have different unit rates. This will decide your final price in your selected plan.  

We can organise to change your meter setup. There is a cost for this, and an electrician may need to do some work at your property first.
