The best way to avoid this is to go solar + batteries, wind or hydro on your property.Check the 'preppers' sites... they always upgrading their kits in readiness for the soon to come apocalypse of civilisation.Quite crazy at times they are but some of their ideas are quite good.
Thanks Tom, I understand the concept but not the mechanics of demand pricing. Some articles says that your highest peak of demand within a month sets your demand tariff for every single day within the month. So, all your power is billed at the demand price. Other articles suggest that if the highest peak demand exceeds a certain threshold, you then get charged the demand tariff. Problem I am having is being told what is definitely going to happen. Which method will they use?Sent from my SM-A205YN using Tapatalk
Didn't tell us about the planned change to pricing.
ajm it appears that if you want to achieve the lwest possible monthly bill on the existing tarriff you need to ensure the electricity consumption during the demand period doesn't exceed that of the non demand period. You need to consider what load can be moved from the peak period to the low period. Appliances like washing machines, dishwashers, oven, kettle, etc. Reserve the peak period for TV, computer, lights, etc.I have an energy consumption and production monitor fitted to our house and can see the consumption spike when SHMBO puts on the kettle for a cuppa in the morning and evening. The kettle uses 2000W!
