A time-of-use tariff in Hobart charges different electricity rates at different times, usually with higher peak prices and lower off-peak or shoulder prices. Availability, time periods and rates depend on your retailer, meter type and the Tasmanian tariff options available at your property. It may suit households that can shift usage, such as laundry, dishwashing or electric-vehicle charging, into cheaper periods, but it can cost more if you use most power during peak times.
