N89 LV Seasonal TOU Transitional tariff guide

Who it’s for

Selected businesses above 160 MWh that meet N19 criteria but lack demand-capable metering.

What you pay

You pay fixed charges and an energy rate. This tariff has no demand charge.

If you get solar

Solar reduces the electricity the site buys. The network gives no special reward for using solar at a set time.

If you get a battery

This tariff gives a battery no clear network target. Check retailer prices, solar exports and backup needs.

Check before you decide

  • Confirm this code on a current retailer bill.
  • Use the retailer prices, not only the network price list.
  • Measure the energy that can move between time periods.
  • Model the tariff that will replace this temporary tariff.
2026–27 network prices

What it costs, and when

Illustrative example

Move N89 energy out of a summer peak

  • Move 1,000 kWh from high-season peak to off-peak time.
  • Use GST-inclusive network rates.
  • Ignore battery losses and project costs.
1,000 kWh × (21.45077 − 11.22506) c/kWh ÷ 100$102.26 difference in the network energy component.

N89 is transitional and has no demand charge. This is not a retail saving. Confirm the replacement tariff and retailer pass-through.

Would a battery help?

A guide, not a quote

Weak fit

Retailer-led value only

This network tariff does not provide a clear demand or time-window target for a behind-the-meter battery. Any case must come from the retailer spread, solar capture or resilience value.

A battery can reduce these

  • Grid energy purchases where stored solar would otherwise be exported.
  • Retailer time-of-use or wholesale exposure if the retail contract differs from the network structure.

A battery can’t change these

  • Daily access, metering and other fixed charges.
  • A network demand charge that is not present on this tariff.
  • Quarterly block thresholds or closed/transitional tariff rules through dispatch alone.

You’d need to check

  1. Current retailer bill and complete retail rate schedule.
  2. At least 12 months of interval imports and solar exports.
  3. Eligible alternative network and retailer tariffs.
  4. Resilience requirements valued separately from bill savings.
