How can this even be possible?

During the middle of the day across Australia, there is an over supply of energy. That’s due to electricity generated from 3 million solar households plus large scale renewable sites. The price of wholesale energy at this time can even be negative. Even networks want households to soak up the solar so many are reducing their rates. As a result, a number of retailers are now giving households access to free power for a period each day. The more energy a household can shift into the free period, the more they can save. Head here to find out how to maximise energy savings with a free electricity plan.
