Can someone in Melbourne with a smart meter tell us the times of the
different rates and what are the different rate charges.
If possible the standard rates, not the discount rate from the brokers.

Unless we know these figures it is very difficult to guess the effect.

Re: Solar Hot water I would be interested to know if that is still the case. To some extent it depends what you are changing from.

I would encourage you to look at the Deloitte study (2 parts) into Victorian smart meters, it includes reference into impacts of TOU on different household types.

If you’re referring to TOU rates, flexible pricing in Victoria will come in around mid-2013, see Vic DPI’s website. Prices and times will depend on the retailers as it is fully deregulated.

I don't know these days Damian, although I doubt it. I gather it doesn't matter much. From what I've heard they have, or going to, ban the old fashioned hot water service, so we'll be stuck with solar.

A very good job of spin & lobbying has been done there.
