I'm in se Qld and I've looked at other plans but they give with one handfeed in tariff then charge more for supply, demand and normal usage, sowhen I calculate let's say my last bill plugging in..excuse the pun...thedifferent data I am better getting less feed in rate.As for me being put on a demand rate when my solar and smart meter wasinstalled with no choice, I spoke to my solar installers today and in Qld anew build will now have a smart meter with a demand rate provided by theenergy supplie ...

Well that's my point I was told that getting a smart meter which I was toldI would require to get solar installed I would also be put into a demandrate. When I said I didn't want to go onto a demand rate I was told by Qldenergy regulatory Energex that in time as smart metres are installedeveryone will be out on a demand rate. Is there a sweetener? Nothing isoffered as far as I'm concerned it is just a way for AGL to get more moneyout of you. It's an absolute rip off.

I have been with AGL for 40 years. I have 6.6 kw of solar on the roof. Was forced without choice to be put on a demand rate after having a smart meter fitted again no choice. My solar savers plan gives 10 c kWh for first 14 kWh then 5 cents thereafter.Last week I visited a friend still in Qld about 45 minutes drive from our house. He tells me he just got solar panels 6.6 kw same as us and I ask him who his provider is he says he has just changed to AGL and gets 15 cents feed in tariff flat rate. ...

I'm on a demand tariff after I got 6.6 kw of solar added, I didn't ask to be on a demand tariff just had no choice. This isn't China we are not a communist state, choice is freedom of speech. To me the calculation for demand tariff is nothing less than a total rip off. I could be on holiday for 30 days of the month then return on day 31 use power to heat and cook on that day during the time of 4-9 pm and then get charged for the entire month when I never used any power during demand. If that is ...
