Cheapest daily supply charge

The fixed daily amount, before any electricity is used.

$0.8932/day — 1st Emerald, Residential - Anytime

Cheapest flat rate

A single rate at any hour, for households without a time-of-use meter.

19.69c/kWh — 1st Emerald, Residential - Anytime

Highest peak rate

Appearing here is not evidence of a bad deal: a high peak rate is often offset on the same plan by a very cheap off-peak window, a strong feed-in rate or a low supply charge.

58.84c/kWh — Standing Offer - Solar Sharer

Cheapest off-peak rate

The overnight or daytime window on a time-of-use plan.

5.50c/kWh — 1st Emerald - Time of Use

Highest solar feed-in rate

A headline feed-in rate usually applies only inside a window or up to a daily cap — the note beside the plan says which.

9.28c/kWh — 1st Quartz - Tariff 31, Residential Light & Power

Supply charges and usage rates include GST. Solar feed-in rates are shown as published, with no GST added.

These are component statistics, not a verdict on the retailer. A low supply charge or a high feed-in rate does not make a plan cheap overall — retailers balance one against the other, and each figure may come from a different plan. Which plan is cheapest depends on when a household uses power.
