How do day and night rates work?
If you have a day/night meter, you’ll be charged different electricity rates during the day and night.
During the day, you’ll be charged a higher electricity rate between 8am and 11pm. You’ll be charged a lower electricity rate at night between 11pm and 8am.
You’ll see the two different rates on your bill, listed as ‘day units’ and ‘night units’ in your bill breakdown.
Day/night electricity meters are also called time-of-day meters.

Please note: day/night meters are different to smart time-of-use plans. Smart plans include different unit rates depending on when you use your electricity. All tariffs include Day, Night and Peak unit rates. For more information, see Information about smart plans.
