Prices effective: 1 July 2026
In WA, the electricity market for small businesses is partially open to competition. This means that eligible customers, referred to as ‘contestable customers’, can choose their electricity retailer.
You are small business contestable customer if you use between 50 and 160 MWh of electricity each year.
Regulated Business Tariff
The Regulated Business Tariff is available to all contestable small business electricity customers. There are two rate options based on your business’ usage: an Anytime rate and Time of Use rate.
Anytime rates: You pay a flat daily supply charge and the same rate for electricity, no matter what time of the day. To qualify, your business must use less than 35% of its electricity during off-peak hours.
Time of Use rates: You pay a flat daily supply charge, but you’ll pay a lower rate for using electricity during off-peak hours. To qualify, your business uses more than 35% of its electricity during off-peak hours.
- Peak: 8:00 am - 10:00 pm, Monday to Friday.
- Off-Peak: 10:01 pm - 7:59 am, weekdays; all day on Saturday and Sunday.
Alternatively, Alinta Energy can specifically design a plan and tailor a set of electricity rates to suit your business needs.
