What makes up my power price?
Help topic: Prices and rates
It takes more than just Powershop to get electricity to your property. There’s a whole supply chain and everyone’s responsible for doing their bit. That means the pricing in your power bill is made up of a lot of different elements.
What you’ll actually see on your bill includes:
- Usage charges – that’s to cover the electricity you’ve used.
- Daily supply charge – this is a distribution charge that covers the maintenance of the poles and wires that gets electricity to your property.
- GST – GST is applied to your usage and daily supply charge.
