Usage rate (c / kWh)
What you pay for every unit of electricity you use. The single biggest driver of your bill if you use a lot of power.
Daily supply charge (c / day)
A fixed fee you pay every day just to be connected, regardless of how much energy you use. It adds up across the year.
Peak vs off-peak
Time-of-use plans charge more at peak times and less off-peak. They suit homes that can shift usage to evenings, nights or weekends.
