Re: Introducing the Battery Rewards Plan

@SolarVaulter totally dependent on your DNSP pricing and retailer offers (competition based), varies so much in states and even regions within states.Sounds like you're on a single tariff with off peak (?), many with solar / digital meters are now on TOU tariff.Eg, here in SA our 13 hours a day peak, including 0600 to 1000, and 1500 mid afternoon right through to midnight is 53c on my plan, supply charge is only $1.10, both GST included.We only get 2c FIT for solar feed in.Can't wait to get a ba ...

You know what though ?I went back through my in my emails, AGL file, and couldn't find any regarding annual end of plan, going on core plan, etc.I get other changes to tariffs etc annually, or if I change plans, but from memory we just stay on the same plan. ...
