Business tariff options

General supply tariffs

On a general supply tariff, you pay for the electricity you use at a flat rate throughout the day and night, plus a daily supply charge. They are suitable for customers who would like to have a single rate, regardless of when they use electricity.

Best for: Businesses with a steady use of electricity, particularly during peak times.

Time of use tariffs

Time of use tariffs provide a constant supply of electricity, but at different rates depending on when you use it, plus a daily supply charge.  Pricing for some tariffs applies year round, while for others it's applied seasonally.

Best for: Daytime businesses that use most of their power during off-peak times or businesses that can shift energy-heavy activities like running machinery or charging equipment, to cheaper off-peak periods.

Demand tariffs

On a demand tariff, you're charged for the total amount of electricity you use plus a demand charge and a daily supply charge. The demand charge is based on measuring the maximum amount of electricity you use over a 30-minute block during a specified ‘demand period’, depending on the tariff.

Best for: Businesses with high energy usage that can reduce power spikes during the specified demand periods. This can be done by staggering when certain machinery is turned on and off, so as not to run various machines during the same half hour block.

Economy tariffs

These tariffs are great for running appliances like hot water systems, pumps, or EV chargers that don't need a constant supply of power.

Supply charges

Supply charges cover the costs of supplying and maintaining your electricity service, including costs for poles and wires, billing and administration.

More information about how tariff prices are set, including supply charges, can be found on the Queensland Competition Authority website and the Australian Energy Regulator's Energy Made Easy website.
