Red Energy's best plan by state and distributor

One row per distribution zone Red Energy serves: the plan with the highest retailer-paid rate there, with the condition from the record, the hours it applies, the first general usage rate (the peak rate on a time-of-use plan), the daily supply charge and the lastUpdated date the retailer stamped on the record. Red Energy's 5 Victorian rows (plan IDs ending @VEC) show usage and supply ex GST; its other 6 rows are GST inclusive.

Red Energy's best unconditional rate against the state median

Red Energy's caps, windows and conditions, from the plan records

Red Energy's records read 27 October 2026 contain these structures. The counts are Red Energy plans, not customers, and a plan that appears in several distribution zones counts once per zone.

• Time windows: 281 Red Energy plans pay the top rate only in a window: 16:00 to 20:59 every day (121 plans), 17:00 to 19:59 every day (80 plans) and 16:00 to 19:59 weekdays (80 plans). Exports outside the window earn the plan's other rate, which for Red Energy is often 0c.
• Membership: 228 Red Energy plans require a membership (for example a motoring club) to be eligible.
• Export credits as incentives: 56 Red Energy plans carry an export credit in the incentives field, outside the feed-in tariff, for example: "Solar Sharer Offer Receive 3 hours of primary load free electricity usage daily (up to 24kWh) from 11am-2pm in NSW. Controlled load charges still apply during the free usage period. This plan is idea".
