Residential Time of Use - Tariff 12
Connecting your home to a residential time of use (ToU) tariff means you're charged at the rate applicable to the time of day you are using the electricity rather than a flat all day rate (standard residential - tariff 11). This tariff is priced to encourage residents to use most of their electricity during shoulder and off-peak times.
