* Reference Price discount refers to the discount off the Default Market Offer (DMO) price for NSW, QLD and SA or Victorian Default Offer (VDO) yearly cost for a household on a flat/anytime rate without controlled load tariff. Discount is calculated based on annual usage in each state/network area of 3,900kWh (NSW-Ausgrid), 4900kWh (NSW-Endeavour), 4600kWh (NSW-Essential), 4600kWh (QLD-Energex), 4000 (SA) and 4000kWh (VIC). The reference price discount is a guide (provided by the AER and ESC) and does not take into account solar export nor a property’s actual annual usage or when that usage occurs (for time of use plans).
