What this family covers.
These codes share a charging method. The differences are in the rates, the time bands and who each code is for.
What is on the bill
- Daily access
- Time-of-use energy
- kVA demand charge (highest half-hour, 4–8pm business days)
Solar and battery
Solar trims daytime energy. A battery can shave the kVA peak, but the peak runs to 8pm — keep charge in reserve — and poor power factor needs fixing first.
Worth asking about
Crossing 160 MWh a year drops the energy rates but adds the kVA charge. Check both sides of that trade before assuming either way.

N19 Low Voltage Seasonal TOU Demand
Who it’s for
Businesses connected at low voltage using more than 160 MWh a year with interval and demand metering.
What you pay
You pay fixed and energy charges. The bill also uses the highest kVA reading in set periods.
If you get solar
Solar can reduce daytime grid use. If the highest kVA reading occurs after solar output falls, solar alone will not remove it. Solar does not correct poor power factor.
If you get a battery
A battery can reduce the active-power part of the kVA peak. Check power factor before you size it.
Check before you decide
- Confirm this code on a current retailer bill.
- Use 12 months of interval data. Check the time of each billed peak.
- Get kW, kVA and power-factor data from the billing meter.
2026–27 network prices
What it costs, and when
These are the network’s charges only. Your retailer adds its own prices on top.
Peak is business days only. All other times are off-peak.
What the network charges
- Daily
- 2655.4 c/day
- High-season peak
- 6.71264 c/kWh
- Low-season peak
- 6.08124 c/kWh
- Off-peak
- 4.66752 c/kWh
- High-season demand
- 58.421 c/kVA/day
- Low-season demand
- 53.163 c/kVA/day
When the rates apply
Peak is 16:00–20:00 on business days. All other times are off-peak. The same clock times apply in standard time and daylight saving time. Demand is set from the highest 30-minute kVA reading in the peak period.
Illustrative example
Reduce an N19 summer kVA peak
- The billed peak falls by 50 kVA.
- The reduction holds for the full 30-minute peak interval.
- The month has 31 days.
- Use the N19 high-season network rate.
50 kVA × 58.421 c/kVA/day × 31 days ÷ 100$905.53 difference in the N19 network demand component for that month.A later peak can set a new maximum. Check power factor. This is not a retail saving.
Would a battery help?

Peak-kVA control
A controlled battery may reduce the site maximum, but the bill is based on apparent power. Power factor and reactive load can be as important as battery kW.
A battery can reduce these
- The active-power contribution to the measured kVA maximum.
- Peak-period grid energy when the battery discharges at the same time.
- Solar spill that can be stored without sacrificing the required peak reserve.
A battery can’t change these
- Daily access, metering and other fixed charges.
- Reactive-power demand unless the inverter and control design explicitly provide power-factor support.
- A new maximum created after the battery empties or misses dispatch.
You’d need to check
- At least 12 months of interval data, including every billed maximum.
- Demand timestamps, seasonal windows and billing reset rules.
- kW, kVA, kvar and power-factor data at the billing meter.
- Retailer rates plus the network tariff—not a blended cents-per-kWh assumption.
Questions about large business tariffs.
Short answers to the things people ask before they change a tariff.
What is N19?
N19 is the Endeavour Energy Low Voltage Seasonal TOU Demand tariff. It is a default low voltage tariff for Low-voltage business sites using more than 160 MWh a year with interval and demand metering. Daily access, seasonal time-of-use energy rates and seasonal peak demand charges in kVA.
Can solar or a battery reduce a large business bill?
Solar trims daytime energy. A battery can shave the kVA peak, but the peak runs to 8pm — keep charge in reserve — and poor power factor needs fixing first. For N19, the battery signal is strong: A controlled battery may reduce the site maximum, but the bill is based on apparent power. Power factor and reactive load can be as important as battery kW.
How do the large business network charges work?
The charges are Daily access, Time-of-use energy, kVA demand charge (highest half-hour, 4–8pm business days). Peak is 16:00–20:00 on business days. All other times are off-peak. The same clock times apply in standard time and daylight saving time. Demand is set from the highest 30-minute kVA reading in the peak period. Crossing 160 MWh a year drops the energy rates but adds the kVA charge. Check both sides of that trade before assuming either way.
Which Endeavour Energy large business code applies to my site?
Bigger low-voltage sites: factories, cold stores, large facilities. The code on your retailer bill is the starting point. Your retailer must confirm any tariff assignment or change.
