Can I change tariff?
Changing tariff can sometimes be done, but there are some important things to consider before you try.
- There is a cost to change your tariff. See our fees page for details.
- Only the retailer responsible for billing you can apply to change your tariff on your behalf.
- You can only change tariff once a year.
- Even though you apply for a tariff change, your local distributor who owns the electrical infrastructure have the final say. They may or may not allow you to access all tariffs.
- Some tariffs are closed to new entrants. For example; Peak / Off Peak is no longer open. If you already have Peak / Off Peak, you can remain on it. However, if you change to another tariff you will not be able to go back.
- It is possible to lose important benefits like premium feed-in for solar if you change tariff.
