Is Solar Sharer available in other states and territories in Australia?
The Solar Sharer Offer is only available in the Default Market Operator regions of NSW, SA and SE QLD. Although, there are other opportunities for residents in other areas of Australia.
Victoria
From the 1st of October, all households in Victoria will have access to the Midday Power Saver (MPS), providing free power between 11am-2pm every day. The MPS is regulated and reviewed by the Essential Services Commission, Victoria's independent energy regulator. Any household with a smart meter will be eligible and will need to opt-in through their energy retailer. Similar to the Solar Sharer Offer, this may not suit all households. Homes that can shift their highest electricity use into the three free hours are likely to see the greatest savings.
Households in other states and territories don't currently have access to three free hours of electricity each day. However, using more electricity during the middle of the day can still help lower your bills, as many energy plans have cheaper off-peak rates during these hours.
