Meet Laura

Meet Laura. She’s s Flow Home customer who knows her way around the electricity market and loves making smart choices that turn into cost savings.

When Laura received a high price notification from Flow Power, she didn’t just sit back and watch her bill climb. Instead, she saw an opportunity to improve her price efficiency for the month with a couple of simple changes.

The high price event

On the evening of the price spike, when wholesale prices skyrocketed and could have impacted her rate for the entire month, Laura decided to skip her usual routine of cooking and running the heating at home.

Instead, she grabbed her gym bag and headed out for a workout, followed by a well-earned takeaway dinner. No power needed.

Not only did she avoid using electricity during the most expensive hours, but she also got to enjoy her favourite fitness class and a meal she didn’t have to cook.

The results

This simple switch made a real difference.  

By avoiding energy use at home during four high price events throughout the month, Laura’s bill dropped by 67%, keeping more money in her pocket.  

• Savings: Laura’s bill was about $50 lower than she expected for that month – more than enough to cover her dinner out. 
• Price Efficiency impact: Her Price Efficiency Adjustment came in at -16.66c/kWh, significantly reducing her monthly base rate. 
• Smart flexibility: This simple switch shows how a little flexibility and attention to price signals can deliver real savings on a dynamic, market-linked contract like Flow Home.

Why Laura’s approach works

Laura’s story highlights the benefits of a dynamic priced electricity plan when you can be proactive and flexible.  

By shifting her energy use away from high price periods, she maximised her savings and reduced her carbon footprint. While not everyone has the same flexibility, Laura lives solo and was already planning to go to the gym. Her approach shows that even small changes can add up to significant savings over time. 

Laura’s tip

“I like that I can make changes and see real savings on my bill and in the Flow Power app’s daily usage summaries. If you can have a bit of flexibility with your usage, it’s worth checking out wholesale linked electricity plans.”
