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.

    Up to 50 kWh a day free. Above 50 kWh a day in the window: 9.90c/kWh (VIC fact sheets).

    Needs: A smart meter.

    • GloBird's VIC fact sheets released 30 Sep 2026 say 10am–2pm in the text but 11am–3pm in the rate table; the plan data says 11am–3pm. Check your welcome pack.
    • Controlled load (e.g. off-peak hot water) is never free, and the daily supply charge still applies.
    • Check your bill or your plan's fact sheet: windows can differ by join date and plan version.

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.
