Understand how commercial electricity rates work in Australia. Compare business plans and find cheaper rates.
Business electricity rates in Australia differ from residential rates. Commercial tariffs typically include usage charges (c/kWh), daily supply charges, and often demand charges for larger sites. Rates vary by retailer, distributor, state, and contract type.
The National Electricity Market (NSW, VIC, QLD, SA, TAS, ACT) is competitive — retailers set their own business rates. Comparing plans can reveal significant savings, especially for businesses with predictable usage patterns.
