Not only poles and wires charges in your tariff, but daily supply charge of course . . . I believe some charge poles and wires in the tariff, while others put some or all of that into supply charge.So you put X kwh solar into the grid, used Y kwh from the grid . . . there can be significant differences in the FIT and usage charge, and at various times of day if on a TOU plan tariff, Plus TOU times can vary dramatically between states and regions within states where applicable.For example here in ...

@HLF it could certainly work, Peak Energy Rewards for using less power when the grid is under high demand.Off Peak Energy Rewards for when the grid needs to offload as much of the excess power generation as they can . . . instead of retailers / DNSPs curtailing production from solar farm, wind farm, rooftop solar, encourage consumers to use it. A win win (for common sense), but is it a win for retailers ?If they make less during high demand and less during low demand, there isn't a lot of space ...

@MrNash you're right, Battery Rewards is its own plan, thought it was an add on, thanks for pointing that out.I edited my previous page reply to reflect that. Your question though "What is the supply charge and peak rate on that plan?"It should be that those ARE dictated by your state / region DNSP, just like all plans and tariffs, daily supply charge, single tariffs, times of various charges like peak, off peak, shoulder, CL etc. You other comment is not correct (for VPP battery draw down) "To ...

@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 ...
