Off peak and peak periods explained

Peak and off-peak energy use hours vary in different Australian states and territories. In South-East Queensland, energy users can target particular hours.

  • peak hour rates run between 4pm – 8pm Monday to Friday
  • shoulder rates run from 7am – 4pm and 8pm – 10pm
  • off-peak is 10pm – 7am

By understanding how peak and off-peak rates differ, you can reduce overall power costs. Progressive electricity providers deliver time-of-use or flexible pricing tariffs that adapt to your lifestyle. If moving to a new property, find out if there is a smart meter installed so you can take full advantage of flexible pricing.

How to read your meter

Meters are used to measure gas and electricity usage at residential and business premises. There are various meter types in use, and each meter type records and displays the information differently. If you live in an apartment or unit complex, your meter may not be accessible to you. Meter types include:

  • Clock face meter panel with several small clock faces. To conduct a reading, note the numbers from each clock, from left to right.
  • Electronic meter panel with display button for scrolling through meter reading options.
  • Smart meter panel that can be read remotely, with energy use information continually updated and sent to your service provider.

How to connect to electricity

  • Energy usage is a major factor in household expenditure, so it makes sense to locate an energy retailer offering better energy prices.

In today's energy environment, the Australian Energy Regulator (AER) oversees fair trading between highly competitive energy providers. Use the GoSwitch comparison service to locate some of the best energy providers according to your postcode, and make a new energy plan that suits your style. In only a few short steps with GoSwitch, you can start saving money on your next energy bill. .
  1. Energy usage profile: Start by making a GoSwitch energy usage profile.
    This includes: the type of home you live in, the location of your home, the number and type of appliances you use, the number of regular household residents, the type of household: active or quiet? You can then use your profile to assess electricity plans with the GoSwitch comparison technology.
  2. Check deal details
    GoSwitch takes only a couple of minutes to check available electricity plans and electricity rates for your postcode. It will locate the most competitive rates.
