Take control of your energy prices with Shape Shifters
You pay for your energy according to when you use it
Night rate
The cheapest time to use electricity is between midnight and 7:00am.
Day rate
Using energy 7:00am - 4:00pm or 7:00pm - midnight is still cheaper than the standard single rate.
Peak rate
Prices are highest 4:00pm - 7:00pm, so you can save money by using less in this period.
How does it work?
Shape Shifters lets you unlock savings by using your energy outside of the 4-7pm peak period. If you're already an off-peak user, can shift your usage or have an electric vehicle - Shape Shifters is for you.
