Energy Locals new plan helps Victorians save on daytime energy costs

Energy Locals 2 mins read
  • Energy Locals has launched a new Daytime Saver plan in Victoria (Citipower, Powercor, and United Energy networks)

  • Daytime Saver provides customers with reduced rates of 9.5c/kwh between 10am-3pm every day

  • Plan is designed to encourage usage while solar energy in the grid is at its highest.


Good news for Victorians looking to reduce household costs.

Energy Locals is excited to launch its new Daytime Saver plan for Victorian households in the Citipower, Poweror, and United networks.

The plan enables users to pay just 9.5c/kWh for power between 10am-3pm every day by letting customers benefit from the times when solar energy floods the grid - making it a cleaner and cheaper time to power customers' days.

Energy Locals founder Adrian Merrick says this is a great option for Australians that are at home during the day.

”Whether you work remotely, care for your family, or simply enjoy spending time at home, this plan allows you to use electricity for all your needs - from doing laundry, running cooling & heating/ to charging your electric vehicle - without worrying about high costs or the environmental impact.”

Depending on the network and tariff, Daytime Saver is up to 30% below the Victorian Default Offer.

Beyond the potential significant cost-savings, Merrick also adds that there are major environmental benefits of this plan.

“Solar energy is most plentiful in the grid during the middle part of the day so by encouraging usage that aligns with these periods, more renewable energy can be consumed.”

New report: Whitehaven Coal’s emissions liabilities a mounting risk to the company, shareholders and climate

Multibillion dollar federal diesel rebate a perverse disincentive for Whitehaven to reduce emissions A new report released today by CarbonBridge and Climate Energy Finance highlights that Whitehaven Coal’s growth trajectory is structurally misaligned with Australia’s climate legislation and emissions targets, exposing Whitehaven, its shareholders and the community to mounting climate, regulatory and financial risks. Having put only limited material mitigation plans in place, the report finds Whitehaven faces growing exposure under the federal government’s Safeguard Mechanism, especially in regard to its fugitive methane emissions exposure. The Safeguard Mechanism is designed to drive down industrial emissions from the nation’s highest-polluting facilities,…

Water performance report shows increase in customers accessing support

The Essential Services Commission’s annual water performance report shows Victorian households continue to face cost of living pressures, with a 23 per cent increase in households accessing state government funded Utility Relief Grants, compared to last year. The increase in grants also indicates that water businesses are playing a greater role in identifying customers in need and supporting access to available support. However, the report also shows that performance remains uneven, with some water businesses doing more than others to support customers experiencing financial hardship. Water businesses must assist customers experiencing payment difficulties by: telling them about the availability of…
