GloBird Energy's caps, windows and conditions, from the plan records
GloBird Energy's records read 27 October 2026 contain these structures. The counts are GloBird Energy plans, not customers, and a plan that appears in several distribution zones counts once per zone.
- Daily caps: 20 GloBird Energy plans pay the top rate only on the first 8 kWh a day (20 plans) and a lower step after that. On a Melbourne 6.6 kW system exporting 5,637 kWh a year, the average is 15.4 kWh a day, so GloBird Energy's cap is reached on most sunny days.
- Time windows: 182 GloBird Energy plans pay the top rate only in a window: 16:00 to 21:00 every day (80 plans), 16:00 to 23:00 every day (50 plans) and 16:00 to 22:59 every day (32 plans). Exports outside the window earn the plan's other rate, which for GloBird Energy is often 0c.
- Battery or VPP: 22 GloBird Energy plans require an existing battery or VPP enrolment, with a top rate of 2c.
- Export credits as incentives: 92 GloBird Energy plans carry an export credit in the incentives field, outside the feed-in tariff, for example: "Super Export Credit 10 cents/kWh applies to the first 15 kWh of exports between 6pm-9pm (Local Time) everyday, and is inclusive of any other Feed-in tariff as applicable in Energy Plan.".

- "eligibility: EXISTING_SOLAR You must have installed an eligible solar-PV."
