N89 LV Seasonal TOU Transitional tariff guide
Who this is for
Selected businesses above 160 MWh that meet N19 criteria but lack demand-capable metering.
How the bill works
You pay fixed charges and an energy rate. This tariff has no demand charge.
What solar changes
Solar reduces the electricity the site buys. The network gives no special reward for using solar at a set time.
What a battery changes
This tariff gives a battery no clear network target. Check retailer prices, solar exports and backup needs.
Check before you model
- Confirm this code on a current retailer bill.
- Use the retailer prices, not only the network price list.
