Making the most of the Grey Power Electricity ToU plans, Power Shift or Power Lunch is about shifting as much of your power to off-peak times to take advantage of lower rates, which could reduce your energy costs.
Power Lunch Plan
Enjoy two free hours of power every day from 12pm to 2pm on the Power Lunch plan.
Discounted off-peak rates are also available on this plan.
Plan Hours
1
Peak
7am - 11am and 5pm - 9pm
During these hours, electricity rates are higher due to increased demand. It's best to minimise the usage of high-energy appliances during these times.
2
Off-Peak
11am - 5pm and 9pm - 11pm
During these hours, electricity rates are lower than peak hours. This is a good time to run appliances like washing machines, dishwashers and vacuum cleaners.
3
Night
11pm - 7am
This is the most affordable time to use electricity. A good time to charge EV’s or anything with a battery.
Adjust your habits
Make small changes to your daily routine, such as cooking larger meals at once or using a slow cooker, to reduce peak hour energy consumption.
Shift energy-intensive tasks
Run major appliances like washing machines, dryers and dishwashers during off-peak times. Schedule tasks such as the laundry, vacuuming the house, washing dishes and cooking during off-peak hours when rates are lower.
Charge devices and batteries overnight. Plug in phones, laptops, and other devices overnight to take advantage of the lowest rates. This is a good time to charge EV's or large equipment with batteries.
Educate your household
Ensure everyone in your home is aware of the Power Shift plan and the different hours and make sure they understand how to adjust their usage to align with off-peak hours.
