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.

From 1 July 2025COST
All usage per kWh$0.18118
From 1 July 2024COST
All usage per kWh      $0.18944
Supply charge per day$0.03709

Refer to our hot water sizing tables for more information on the size of hot water systems that can be run on Tariff 31.

Tariff 33

This tariff is most commonly used for pool pumps, electric hot water systems holding 125 litres or more, heat pump systems holding 270 litres or more and solar hot water systems holding 160 litres or more.

Power is available for a minimum of 16 hours each day. The times when power is switched off may change from day to day and vary in duration. All rates include GST.

From 1 July 2025COST
All usage per kWh $0.19135
From 1 July 2024COST
All usage per kWh $0.21104
Supply charge per day $0.03709

Refer to our hot water sizing tables for more information on the size of hot water systems that can be run on Tariff 33.

Load control tariff

Designed to be cheaper because the supply on this tariff 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 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.

From 1 July 2025COST
All usage per kWh$0.26248
Supply charge per day$1.76740
From 1 July 2024COST
All usage per kWh$0.25117
Supply charge per day$1.52892
