GIVING BATTERY OWNERS ALL THE POWER
The electricity plan for batteries
At Flow Power, we want to support forward-thinking energy users, like you, by giving you the tools you need to maximise your energy investments and contribute to a more efficient and sustainable grid.
We’ll equip you with free energy monitoring technology and wholesale-based pricing, so you have more control over your usage costs and feed-in tariff (FiT).
Find the cheapest times to power up and the best times to either use your stored energy or export it to the grid when prices are surging.
Flow Power’s feed-in tariff
Our feed-in tariff (FiT) has been designed to best suit battery owners.
Flow Home customers who joined before December 1 2025 receive a base feed-in tariff of 3.3c/kWh, and an adjustment will be made to that rate each month, based on your export habits and how closely they aligned with wholesale market pricing signals that month.
This FiT is based on wholesale prices, designed to give you access to a wider range of pricing. This allows for greater earning potential when you export your stored energy during peak times or grid events. Equally, your rate can be negatively impacted by exporting during times of the day when energy is abundant in the grid – like solar hours during the day.
Using the Flow Power app, you can monitor the market to find the most lucrative times to export and avoid the times when you could be charged.
From December 1 2025, Flow Home will be introducing a new FiT structure to reward energy-savvy exporters.
This will apply automatically for new customers. Existing customers will have the option to switch to the new tariff right away by contacting contact@flowpower.com.au and requesting an upgrade or wait until January to roll onto the new tariff structure.
Under this new structure, the rate for exports will be $0 during off-peak hours.
Optimally timed exports will be rewarded with a competitive bonus rate between 35-45c/kWh, depending on your state, from 5:30-7:30pm every day.
If your household can control when it exports, you could earn more for the power you produce.
Flat rate feed-in tariff
A flat rate FiT charges the same rate all day.
Flat rate FiTs are often low as the government has decreased incentives for exporting energy during the day – when most solar systems export.
Since the minimum FiT has dropped, there’s less value in exporting your excess solar energy on a flat rate tariff, even with a battery to store the energy and export later in the day.

Time of use feed-in tariff
Time of use FiTs have up to four different rates depending on the time of day.
Time of use FiTs incentivise exports at peak times with a higher rate and discourage exports during off peak and super off peak times. However, the rates are capped and limit earning potential.

Wholesale feed-in tariff
Wholesale tariffs link customers directly to the wholesale electricity market, where prices change every 5 minutes. These prices are typically in the range of -10 c/kWh to 30 c/kWh, but during extreme circumstances can fluctuate dramatically within the range of -$1/kWh to $17.50/kWh – a price cap set by the Australian Energy Market Commission (AEMC).
It’s rare for the market to reach these extremes, but this range highlights the significant earning potential for savvy battery owners willing to follow wholesale price signals.
How does this differ to Flow Power?
While full wholesale market exposure offers high earning potential for dedicated battery owners, it does come with greater risk and requires constant market monitoring. If you don’t follow wholesale price signals closely, you may face high bills and considerable setbacks in your battery payback time.
Flow Power customers are not fully exposed to wholesale but can still benefit from its peaks and troughs.

A month of benefits
Flow Power customers with a battery are at a unique advantage.
When prices rise and you switch to using your stored energy you’ll be rewarded with a reduced electricity rate for the whole month, thanks to our Price Efficiency Adjustment!
Plus, you can supercharge your savings and earnings by only exporting your excess energy during evening peaks, between 5:30-7:30pm.
How you’ll be supported
All Flow Power customers will have access to the Flow Power app.
In the app, you can find the best times to charge and discharge your battery.
In addition, we’ll provide guides to optimising your battery manually or using our set-and-forget method.
