Energy plans
Powershop gives customers the flexibility of standardised plans, or the option to buy ‘Powerpacks’. A Powerpack is a dollar amount of power, which varies in size and price according to the customer’s needs. The following Powerpacks are available to purchase (as of June 2018):
- Top-Up Pack: Includes the Powershop ‘Standard Saver’ plan, which includes a discount off base rates.
- Online Saver Pack: Provides the best possible discount that’s available every day if purchased online.
- Spot Specials: Are promotional packs offering bigger discounts than the Online Saver, but are only available for a limited time and have a specific amount of usage.
- Future Pack: Secures a discount for a future period, which allows customers to buy and stock up in advance.
- Bulk Pack: A discounted rate available to purchase every 60 days and is estimated to cover a customer’s electricity usage for three months.
Customers can also opt for ‘GreenPower’, which allows purchasing as much or as little green power as desired for an additional premium.
