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.

Economy tariffs
Economy tariffs are great for appliances like hot water systems and pool pumps that don't need a constant supply of power.
They're cheaper because the supply on these tariffs is interruptible and Ergon Network controls the times when power is available. The times of day this will occur may change from day to day and vary in duration.
Tariff 31
This tariff is for electric hot water systems holding 250 litres or more, that only need to reheat at night.
Power is available for a minimum of 8 hours each day. The times when power is switched off may change from day to day and vary in duration. All rates include GST.
