  • INeverPayFullPrice on 01/04/2024 - 21:33

    Saw a mention of Solar should be less than or max 5KW to qualify for this plan. I have 10KW system.

  • david90 on 24/05/2024 - 15:45

    Thanks OP! Best plan and retailer for me on Vic Energy Compare in the Ausnet area

    • SES on 25/05/2024 - 18:00

      Are you share about that? What are your rates? Read my last 2 comments. Not being combative but you may be paying more, what's your postcode and rates ?

    Peak rate: 63.58c per kWh lmao

  • Alzori on 24/05/2024 - 16:23

    Great if it's the best plan for you. For me my flat rate is currently 20% lower than their offering so not really worth switching, don't think I could push 20%+ of my usage into that midday period.

    Not for controlled load 🙄
    But is there anyway to wire up your normal supply to your controlled load circuits on the 3 hour timer?

      Contactor with timer. Tlk to an electrican.

  • mreddie on 24/05/2024 - 19:15

    OVO are crooks, has lots of billing issues with them. Stay clear.

    • snoopydoop on 25/05/2024 - 02:38

      What sort of issues? Curious so I know what to look out for

      • tkboi on 25/05/2024 - 05:46

        following as well.

        its pretty good for me so far.

  • CasperLeon22 on 24/05/2024 - 21:04

    Curious, do you need a smart meter for them to be able to offset the 11-2pm usage from your bill?

    • spaceflight on 24/05/2024 - 21:37

      How else would they know when you are consuming electricity?

  • john smith apples on 25/05/2024 - 07:59

    This looks like a terrible deal (basic free 3) Free between 11 and 2 but 40c between 3 and 9.

    • yojabbajabba on 25/05/2024 - 08:51

      What is the apples-to-apples comparison of the other ovo plans in your region? It might be completely consistent with all of their other offerings.

    • Jonesy555 on 25/05/2024 - 10:27

      Area dependent. Im on 25c, others are 24c, but no free time. Can charge the car up to 21kw for free on each daily 3 hours free. In VIC.

  • charliechao on 25/05/2024 - 08:32

    Probably not for someone working from home? The day time rates is around 40% higher than my sumo rates in my area.

  • SES on 25/05/2024 - 18:06

    Vic 3976 Ausnet - smart meter - isn't single rate almost always better than ToU regardless of the season especially if one has solar no battery or even without solar? Thoughts?

    FYI By regulation, one can request to be changed to single rate from ToU tarrifs once every year via their retailer. Fyi. Doesn't matter if your retailer only shows ToU based plans. Cheers

  • Nathw on 15/07/2024 - 17:59

    Only joined 3 months ago and they’re now raising the rates by 25%

    • shadow131 on 15/07/2024 - 19:08

      which plan are you on?

      • Nathw on 15/07/2024 - 19:19

        The Basic Free 3 Plan

    • 3v3rqu357 on 16/07/2024 - 16:44

      Same for me on globird (vic ausnet area), I think all the rates for all retailers got redone :-/ . Time to move again…

  • souljah on 26/07/2024 - 16:14

    Country Vic, ausnet. Getting following rate offer from them.

    Daily - 95.15c
    Peak (3pm-9pm) - 34.98c
    Offpeak (rest of time) - 15.95c
    * No free 3 hrs

    Thoughts? Seems cheapest in my area if I'm not missing anything. Apparently you go into draw to potentially win a Tesla 3 and $2,000

    12 month contract but doesn't say anything about exit penalty - is that even a thing anymore?

  • madamethrifty on 04/09/2024 - 13:48

    Still running, still awesome. Was with Globird as they were slightly cheaper… for a while. Set your dishwasher, washing machine, car, everything to charge in that 3 hours (11am-2pm).

  • garbagetnt on 05/09/2024 - 09:54

    been with OVO for the last year on the one plan - had recently updated the plan for lower rates - there's about a 5 cent rate lower than the free 3 plans per KW but doubt it's worth it as can't really schedule all usages to the free time at 11-2 esp with little kids and other half who needs a temperate house at night

    • Nom on 05/09/2024 - 13:42

      other half who needs a temperate house at night

      Have you checked the Tog rating on your quilt ?

      https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tog_(unit)#/media/File%3ATogs_and_Temperature.jpg

      If you need to heat the house at night, your quilt is too thin.

      Try this https://www.amazon.com.au/Silentnight-Warm-Cosy-White-Single… - they are awesome 🤗 Hopefully you're not using a Double because it looks like that size is out of stock at the moment.
