A time of use tariff in Hobart charges different electricity rates at different times, usually with higher weekday daytime or evening prices and cheaper overnight or weekend periods. The exact periods, rates and availability depend on your retailer, tariff and whether your home has a suitable interval or smart meter. It may suit households that can shift heating, hot-water systems, washing and electric-vehicle charging to cheaper periods, but it can cost more if most usage occurs during peak times. Check your current bill and retailer’s tariff information, or compare plans through Energy Made Easy before switching.
