Timing is everything!
Essential Energy's tariff trials are up and running.
The tariff trials are designed to help Essential Energy understand how electricity consumption is impacting network costs and how Essential Energy can send the right price signals to customers in the future.
Essential Energy is encouraging households and small businesses to use more energy between the hours of 10am and 3pm when there is more energy generated from new sources like solar.
An educational campaign in the areas of Broken Hill, Bungendore, Sutton and Queanbeyan has just begun. This will test that if by information alone, households will change their behaviour and shift energy use.
Soon Essential Energy will be rolling out the new tariffs with some retail partners.
