Origin will be running a voluntary Smart Energy trial* to help us use energy more efficiently.  Participating in these trials is voluntary and you can opt out at any time.

Origin's new electricity tariffs, which will be available over the coming months, could see you make real savings on your electricity bills when you shift your energy usage to certain times of the day.

Receive a free energy efficiency pack when you sign up.

As a thank you, every customer that takes part in the trial will receive a free energy efficiency pack worth more than $80 which includes:

• 6 energy efficient light globes
• 1 AAA-rated water saving showerhead

You can save up to $100 on your energy costs per year by replacing your existing incandescent light globes and old showerhead with the energy efficient light globes and water saving showerhead.

Smart Time of Use 

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 special off-peak electricity tariffs.

• Electricity is priced at two levels, depending on the time of day
• The rates are lowest during off-peak periods: all weekend and weekdays from 9pm to 7am.  
• Rates are higher from 7am to 9pm weekdays. 
• There are two options to choose from: All Year and Seasonal

Smart Time of Use - All Year

Electricity is priced at the two levels depending on the time of day, all year round.  So with a cheaper off peak rate charged all year, you could make real savings on your bill each and every day.

Smart Time of Use – Seasonal

Pay a cheaper rate for electricity during off peak times all year round, but pay a little more during peak times during the months of January, February and March. During these months, the peak rate is higher than other months of the year, but the overall potential savings can be great.

Be one of the first households to take advantage of these exclusive products.  Hurry, trial numbers are limited to a number of households in the City of Salisbury, and the councils of Tea Tree Gully, Playford and Adelaide City.  Joining is completely optional and you may opt out at any time.
