Off-Peak and Peak Times

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

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

* Consider the advantages of using a smart meter for electricity and gas to reduce energy costs at your property.

How solar energy can provide the cheapest electricity

Brisbane, the Sunshine Coast, and the Gold Coast are collectively part of the Sunshine State. Queensland homeowners are switching and saving on electricity bills with solar energy system savings that include:

Cheaper electricity bills: Once your solar system is installed, you are saving energy and money every day.

Reliability: Queensland is called the Sunshine State for good reason, with a warm and sunny climate that is optimal for solar panel efficiency.

Energy Security: Sunlight is yours to use for free. Solar panels are an efficient means of harvesting the sun’s energy for lower electricity costs.

Value Added Improvement: Property investors look for features that attract their target market, and solar energy systems are a key component in the equation.

Feed-in Tariffs: You can sell excess power back to the national grid and make a tidy profit from your investment in solar. Save big time on monthly electricity bills, including GST.

High Performance: Modern solar units are highly efficient. Many types come with a long warranty and perform at almost 100% potential for years of satisfactory service.

Renewable Alternative: Solar power is environmentally friendly and plays a positive role in the reduction of harmful emissions.

Government Incentives: Australian Governments offer solar energy financial incentives as a reward for taking up cleaner, greener energy.

How To Read Your Meter

Meters are used to measure gas and electricity usage at residential and business premises. There are various meter types, and each 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: Comprising several small clock faces. To conduct a reading, note the numbers from each clock, from left to right.
Electronic meter panel: Uses a display button for scrolling through meter reading options.
Smart meter panel: Can be read remotely and is a reliable way to remain continually updated about your household energy usage.

How To Choose a New Energy Retailer?

Energy is a major household expense, so it makes sense to look for cheaper Brisbane electricity prices wherever possible.

Today’s energy environment is different, where the Australian Energy Regulator (AER) oversees fair trading between highly competitive energy providers and retailers.

Use the GoSwitch comparison service to locate some of the best energy retailers for your postcode and make a new money-saving energy plan.
