Easy ways to get involved in Adelaide Solar City
We’ve put together a range of special offers to help households within the Adelaide Solar City trial area to reduce their impact on the environment.
But hurry, offers are limited and only available to eligible households in the Cities of Salisbury, Tea Tree Gully and Playford, and Adelaide City Council.
Offer 1: Smart Rates Trial
Help save money on your electricity bills and contribute to a brighter more sustainable future with an Origin Adelaide Solar City Energy Plan*#.
Participating in the trial is voluntary and you can opt out of trialling Origin's Smart Electricity pricing plans at any time.
By making a few changes to the times you use high energy appliances like your pool pump, air conditioner and washing machine, you can take advantage of Origin's special off-peak electricity rates. Developed for the Adelaide Solar City initiative, Origin's new Smart Electricity pricing plans could help you make real savings on your electricity bills when you shift your energy usage to certain times of the day. There are two options to choose from, Smart Time of Use and Dynamic Saver pricing plans.
When you sign up for one of Origin's Smart Electricity pricing plans, you'll also receive a complimentary in-home assessment^. Click here for details.

# Installation of a type IV 'smart' meter is an eligibility criterion for Adelaide Solar City Energy Plan. ^Your in-home assessment must be completed within 8 weeks of the first call made to arrange an appointment. You must also nominate Origin as the greenhouse gas “Abator.” This nomination means that you agree to transfer to Origin the rights to create and own emissions reduction units and energy efficiency credits in respect of the installation under this program regardless of when the greenhouse gas abatement occurs. Full terms and conditions will be explained (and, if required, provided) by an Origin representative at the time of your enquiry. This offer is not available in all areas and can be withdrawn at any time prior to a customer entering into an agreement with us which includes this Energy Plan.

Offer 3: GreenPower Products
Australian households generate almost one-fifth of Australia’s greenhouse gases through everyday activities such as transport and household energy use. The average household in Australia contributes to emissions of over 8 tonnes of the greenhouse gas carbon dioxide each year, solely through our energy use.
Most electrity comes from burning coal and other fossil fuels. This means that traditional electricity we use at home and at work is impacting our environment. One of the easiest ways to reduce your household's emissions is to buy a GreenPower product. When you purchase one of our Government accredited GreenPower products, we’ll have the chosen percentage of your electricity consumption matched into the electricity grid with electricity from GreenPower accredited renewable sources such as wind and solar.
