Re: Solar Savers: how is feed-in calculated?

I made a spreadsheet with the last year's worth of usage data. Then I could compare Solar Savers with Smart Saver to see which was best. Solar Savers came out about $100 less over a year - $1600 versus $1500.With the new Solar Savers tariffs I can't do that until I understand how the FIT is calculated and see a bill to verify the calculations.Perhaps not worth the effort for only $100 but it was interesting to see which was best!

What is meaning of "ave ...

Comparing Gas Plans

I want to compare my current AGL gas plan with other AGL gas plans.On the web site the gas plans have the rates for first 3000MJ, next 3000MJ, next 3000MJ, next 6000MJ and the remainder.My most recent gas bill has "general usage" amounts of 2950MJ, 2950MJ, 2950MJ, 3866MJ and the remainder.Why are the MJ amounts different?
