The numbers that decide your CovaU Energy bill

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.

Live CovaU Energy electricity rates pulled from the energy market, last updated 07/08/2026. Figures are in cents, shown as the range across each network for residential and business plans; your exact rate depends on your address, network, meter type and usage. Open each plan's price breakdown for the full per-network detail. Always confirm the plan's Basic Plan Information document and compare against the reference price before signing up.
