What is offpeak electricity in 2026 and when are the cheaper rates usually available?

A WattWise Team Answered by

Off-peak electricity is power supplied during lower-demand periods, often overnight, when some retailers offer a cheaper rate. In 2026, the exact times and prices depend on your state, electricity network, tariff and retailer; controlled-load tariffs may have different windows from general time-of-use plans. Check your latest bill or energy plan for the stated off-peak hours, as weekends and public holidays may be treated differently. Your retailer or the Energy Made Easy website can help compare available tariffs, but consider your usage pattern and any meter or supply requirements before switching.
