Energia’s smart meter plans are designed to utilise smart meter technology and are structured to suit different household needs and lifestyles.
The main idea behind these plans is "Time-of-Use" (ToU) pricing, encouraging customers to shift energy-intensive activities to periods of lower demand when rates are cheaper.
This plan provides a standard time-of-use structure with distinct day, night, and peak rates, encouraging you to be mindful of consumption during the most expensive hours.
Time Bands & Typical Rates (effective rates with discount):
| Period | Time | New Customer Discount | Unit Rate (c/kWh) | EAB |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Day | 8 am – 5 pm and 7 pm – 11 pm | 33% | 25.21c | €1,165 |

Choosing the ideal Energia smart meter plan depends entirely on your household's average electricity usage patterns and lifestyle.
There isn't a one-size-fits-all answer, so consider which plan aligns best with how you use energy:
| Plan Name | Concept | Ideal For |
|---|---|---|
| Smart Data | Standard time-of-use with distinct Day, Peak, and Night rates. | Households that can adjust energy use to avoid peak hours and utilise cheaper night rates; those who want detailed insights to optimise consumption. |
| Smart Day Night | Two-band unit prices (Day and and Night), similar to traditional meters, with smart meter insights. | Customers accustomed to simpler day/night tariffs who still want smart meter data without navigating peak times. |
| Smart 24 Hour | A single, flat electricity rate applies throughout the day and night, with smart meter insights. | Households with consistent daytime usage or those who prefer a flat rate and don't need to adjust habits, but still want consumption data. |
| EV Smart Drive | Ultra-low unit rate during specific EV Night Boost hours (2 am – 6 am), with standard Day rates. | Electric Vehicle (EV) drivers for charging; households with high night-time electricity demands, such as those with heat pumps. |
