You can expect nothing but competitive rates from us. But, let's be honest, power company pricing is pretty confusing, right?
To make it super simple, send your latest bill to us and we'll do the sums and let you know how much you'll pay.
We offer simple plans based on your usage, location and meter setup. We also have a day/night tariff that will be perfect for those awesome people with EVs – cheaper rates at night so you can recharge your battery for less while you sleep.

Understanding our rates
Daily charge
This includes the fixed charges that your local lines company and meter provider charges Toast to supply your electricity.
Uncontrolled
Power to an uncontrolled meter is supplied 24/7 at single tariff. This usually supplies everything in the house except sometimes your hot water cylinder or other separately wired appliances.
Controlled
Power to a controlled meter can be switched off by your lines company when there’s high demand in your neighbourhood – sometimes called ripple control. Your hot water cylinder may be wired to a controlled meter and you’ll get a lower rate for this occasional “inconvenience”.
Composite
Power to a composite meter is a mix of the uncontrolled and controlled meter in one. Your hot water cylinder is on the same circuit as the rest of the house but can still be switched off. You get a rate that’s between uncontrolled and controlled if you’re composite wired.
Standard user
Best for large (3+) all-electric households who use more than 8000 kWh/year – approx. more than $150 a month in summer and $250 a month in winter).
Low user
Best for smaller households and/or those whose main heating source is gas or wood.
Day/Night plan
Higher rate during the day and up to half-priced power at night. Good for households with an EV and those that use more than 30% of their power between 9pm and 7am.
Solar BuyBack
Solar BuyBack is for electricity exported through your meter to the grid.
