If your business spends more than $16,000 per year on your electricity, then a business plan is likely to offer you more benefits than a government, regulated tariff. 

Business plans can offer tailored, energy solutions that include a range of benefits such as discounted rates to help save you money or fixed rates that allow more control over your energy costs with minimal surprises. 

Here’s a snapshot of how they generally compare…

Synergy plan	Regulated tariff

What is a non-standard contract (we call this a business plan)?

A non-standard contract is exactly that – non-standard. Essentially it is a contract that can include different terms and conditions, variations in price, contract length and payment options.

Non-standard contracts are negotiated directly with you and don’t require approval by the Economic Regulation Authority. However, these contracts must comply with relevant regulations.

If you generally consume about $16,000 per year, you may be eligible for a non-standard contract.

What is a tariff (also known as a standard contract)?

A regulated electricity or gas tariff is defined as a standard contract. The terms of a standard contract are governed by regulations and must be approved by the Economic Regulation Authority.

A standard contract outlines the standard terms and conditions for all customers who pay standard prices for their electricity or gas:
