Listed below are electricity retailer’s controlled load 3 rates for households in QLD (Smart Control) and TAS (Tariff 62). There are no controlled load 3 tariffs in the other states and territories.
Controlled Load 3 Rates are the amount you pay per kWh for appliances that are on dedicated circuits connected as a Controlled 3 Load. For residential properties this can include pool pumps, in-floor heating and occasionally hot water heating and air conditioning.
Controlled Load 3 Rates vary depending on;
1. The electricity network region you are connected to.
2. The electricity retailer who you buy power through.
Here’s how to find the best deal. A low controlled load 3 rate is important, but you also need to consider the other usage rates, daily supply charges (and feed-in tariffs if you have solar). WATTever’s comprehensive electricity comparison makes it easy to get it right because it includes all this information.
