A time-of-use tariff charges different electricity rates at different times, so it may suit Central Coast households that can shift usage away from expensive peak periods. Exact peak, shoulder and off-peak times depend on your network area, meter and retailer, with Central Coast properties generally supplied by Ausgrid or Endeavour Energy. Check your current bill and retailer’s pricing, then compare offers using the Australian Government’s Energy Made Easy website. Your retailer can confirm whether your meter supports the tariff and estimate how your bill could change based on your household’s actual usage.
