BASE RATES LOCKED IN
Prices are rising across Victoria. We’re keeping your base rates the same.
Flow Power holds rates for FY26
This year, electricity retailers face higher supply costs, forcing many to increase prices. At Flow Power, we’ve made a different choice: we’re absorbing these extra costs to keep your base electricity rates unchanged for FY25-26.
Why retailers change their ratesWe want to make the electricity market work for you,
that’s why we’re…
Absorbing increased supply costs ourselves rather than passing them to you
Including 100% GreenPower on all plans so you can help grow renewables in Australia
Providing a gateway to variable wholesale prices to take advantage of better rates
Providing tools & tech to help you save even more through smart usage
How our pricing works
Flow Power electricity plans are based on the wholesale electricity market. This means your base rate and feed-in tariff will be adjusted each month, based on when you use or export electricity, and what wholesale prices are at that time.
This gives you the opportunity to improve your base rate and feed-in tariff, utilise renewable energy in the grid, and reduce your use of fossil fuels during peak times.
Tips for reducing your base rate
You pay less when you:
Shift usage to midday – Daytime energy use is typically the cheapest, thanks to all the solar in the grid
Follow in-app advice – find the best times to use electricity in the Flow Power app
Avoid excess energy use during the evening peak – you don’t need to flick the mains switch, just avoid running the dishwasher or charging your EV
Act on price notifications – if evening rates are higher than usual, we’ll let you know so you can power down non-essentials and keep your base rate down
Discharge your battery (if you have one) – using stored energy is a great way to avoid high prices

Disclaimer: Please note that Flow Power electricity plans aren’t suited to every lifestyle. Flow Power electricity plans encourage proactive energy use and reward customers who follow the prompts in our app with a decreased base rate and increased feed-in tariff. However, if you’re unable to shift your energy-intensive devices to run during low-cost periods or you can’t avoid using excess electricity when prices are high, you may see your base rate increase. This applies to your feed-in tariff if you can’t control when you export, which means you could be charged for consistently exporting energy when wholesale prices are negative. We strongly encourage turning on price notifications in the Flow Power app so you can quickly respond to high price events.
