New electricity time of use schedules from 1 July 2021 for Victorian customers

From 1 July 2021 onwards, all electricity distributors in Victoria have updated their ToU (time of use) tariff schedules for their default peak / off-peak plan offering. Customers that were on the default peak / off-peak offering will have been migrated across to the new ToU schedule with their electricity retailers as of this date.

Do I need to do anything?

You don't need to do anything at this time. We've already switched your Powerpal system over to use the new ToU schedule. If you believe this has been done incorrectly, please reach out to us and we'll be happy to help resolve any issues.

What's a time of use (ToU) tariff schedule?

A time of use tariff schedule, also known as a ToU schedule, defines what times of day are charged at peak and off-peak rates. To save money on your electricity bill, you would typically want to reduce your energy consumption during peak periods.

What's changed?

What does this mean?

You'll have more off-peak time (when the cheapest tariff rate applies) during the day and evening. This gives you more options to run your appliances when the cheapest rates apply. While that's a good thing, bear in mind there is now a weekend peak period.
