Business Controlled Load 1 Rates Comparison

Last Updated on December 19, 2024 by David Hiley

Business Controlled Load 1 Hot Water SystemBusiness Controlled Load 1 Rates are the usage charges for appliances that are on dedicated circuits connected to your electricity meter. These rates are cheaper than general electricity rates, however they are limited to operating during off-peak hours (usually overnight). Controlled Load 1 is primarily used for “off-peak” electric hot water systems. Some bills may refer to this as a ‘dedicated circuit’ and in Queensland it can be called ‘Tariff 31’.

Business Controlled Load 1 Rates vary depending on;
1. The electricity network region you are connected to. There are 15 major electricity networks in Australia.
2. The electricity retailer who you buy power through.
Listed below are electricity retailer’s Controlled Load 1 Rates for small businesses in ACT, NSW, QLD, SA, TAS and VIC.

A low Controlled Load 1 rate is important, but you also need to consider the other usage rates, daily charges and feed-in tariffs (if you have solar) to ensure you find the best deal. WATTever’s comprehensive electricity comparison makes it easy to get it right by including all this information for every retailer.
