Freedom plan
-
Need flexibility?
Our Freedom Plan has variable rates, you’re not locked into a fixed term contract and there’s also no penalties. This means your power rates will change as energy prices change. You could save money if energy prices drop but, if they rise so will your electricity rates. We'll also give you a $10 credit each month for a year^.
-
Smart Hot Water
Plus, if you are eligible, we may opt you in to our Smart Hot Water programme where you will get an additional $10 credit every month on your bill*. Smart Hot Water works by pausing supply to your hot water heating for short periods.
*Smart Hot Water terms, conditions and eligibility criteria apply
