Every free-power plan

Every plan we know of with hours when electricity use costs 0c, in each state we cover. Each shows its free hours, any daily limit, what you need to get it, and the date we last checked it.

Use the filters to narrow the list: by state, plans that are free right now, the government offer or retailers' own plans, and plans that don't need a home battery.

What it's for: finding your plan, or seeing what's out there if you're thinking of switching. We don't say which is cheaper: that depends on how and when you use electricity.

Free hours, daily limits and conditions for each plan, checked against each provider's own documents. Hours are local time in each state.

Free hours don't mean a cheaper bill: these plans often charge more at other times. We don't say what you'd save. Check your bill or plan.
