Smart Meter in apartments

[kcaz]

How is the installation for apartment blocks organised? Is there a known schedule? 

I'm in an older building and the help docs mention doing all the units in an apartment at the same time (makes sense) and that we will be informed when it's time to upgrade. 

But is there a schedule for when specific areas or buildings are done? Or is it just wait and see? 

There's new energy plans with free electricity in the middle of the day but they require a smart meter.

While 3 for free might help SOME users, be aware there are higher tariffs for the other 21 hours a day, including the peak hours that usually seem most usage, early mornings before work, and evenings.

Going onto TOU tariff vs old single rate is really dodgy for many, let alone the 3 for free high peak / shoulder tariffs.

As well as that, the daily supply charge is higher too for the 3 for free offers, so do some basic math based on your bills and data for how much you can use and save in the 3 free hours, because many are going to be paying a lot more with these new govco forced offers.

Hi @kcaz 

It's important to clarify that there are two plans that include the three hours of free usage. 

We have the Three for Free plan, which is only available in South Australia. And, the Solar Share plan, which is what has been publicized by media. 

You'll be able to find out information on these plans from our website, for both the Three for Free plan and the Solar Sharer.

as @Lester mentions it is best to compare the rates of the plans we have available to make sure that you get the one that will work best for you.

With the digital meter, you can fill in the Digital smart meter request form to get this actioned.

Thank you, Chris
