OUR PRICING

Home /Pricing /Our Pricing

Your rate,
in your hands

At Flow Power, we do pricing differently, giving you the power to influence the rate you pay for electricity.

Our pricing doesn’t feature a fixed electricity rate. Instead, we incentivise making smarter energy habits part of your day to day, with a variable rate that puts you in control of your costs.

When you join Flow Home, you’ll have a daily supply charge (set by your local distributor) and a base electricity rate. But, unlike other electricity providers, you’ll also receive a Price Efficiency Adjustment to your bill each month, which gives you the potential to save by using energy at smarter times when the prices are lower.

Smarter habits = better savings

Today, record levels of renewables are entering the grid and reshaping how the energy market peaks.

Prices are typically highest for a few hours in the morning and late afternoon to evening, and are generally cheapest, or even negative, throughout the middle of the day.

Flow Power’s Price Efficiency Adjustment has been designed to incentivise energy use when renewable generation is high, and prices are low.

The more you can shift your usage to cheaper, more renewable times, the more you can reduce your variable monthly rate.

Your Price Efficiency Adjustment explained

The Price Efficiency Adjustment (PEA) is a monthly calculation that adjusts your base rate up or down to determine your final billed rate. It’s calculated based on:

when you used electricity, and

what the wholesale price was at those times

If you shift your energy usage to cheaper times – like the middle of the day when renewables are abundant, you can reduce your overall rate for the month.

Equally, if you consistently use power during expensive periods – typically when fossil-fuel generation is at its peak in the morning and early evening – your rate will increase for the month.

Optimising your Price Efficiency Adjustment

You don’t need to be an expert to use energy more price efficiently – even small changes can add up to big monthly savings.

And don’t worry – we provide smart energy monitoring tools and tech to make it simple to know when to power down, or power ahead. With Flow Home, you’ll get:

Live price feed and forecasts to monitor for low prices

Flow Hub and Smart Plug – easy on/off remote control at the tap of a button

SMS and optional push alerts to help you avoid high prices

Simple dashboards to track your usage and savings

Is variable pricing right for you?

Flow Home isn’t a one-size-fits-all plan. It’s built for people who want more control over their energy costs and have flexibility over when they use power.

Flow Home is best suited to:

Households that can regularly shift energy use to cheaper times and greener times

Households that can schedule their large appliances to run at optimal times (dishwashers, EV chargers, pool pumps etc)

Battery owners (existing or plans to install in the future – learn more about how a battery can help you save)

Energy-savvy homeowners who can make small, smart changes.

Households motivated to lower their bills

and support Aussie renewables.

Flow Home may not be right for you if:

You don’t have flexibility over the time you use appliances (and regularly run them during evening or morning peaks)

You have solar panels and don’t plan to install a battery

You’re looking for a fixed rate month-to-month

We want you to win

The Flow Power App indicates the best and most price efficient times to use energy.

What’s the difference between price efficiency and energy efficiency?

Energy efficiency

using less power overall (good for bills and the planet).

Price efficiency

using power at cheaper times (good for lowering your Flow Home rate).

Benefits of our flexible rate

More knowledge, more power

The key to getting the best rate is understanding the wholesale energy market.

Using our app, you can learn to recognise price patterns to make informed choices about your energy use —saving money and supporting cleaner energy.
