Tariffs

Customers who wish to take advantage of the various tariff options offered by Horizon Energy Distribution Ltd (Horizon Energy) are encouraged to look carefully at their load characteristics and energy use to work out the tariff option that best suits their needs.

Our general tariffs are:

Tariff Code Supply Characteristic
N1U or N1R 1 phase 60 Ampere only
N2U or N2R 3 phase 60 Ampere (includes 2 phase connections)
N3U or N3R 3 phase 100 Ampere (no 1 phase or 2 phase availability)
N4U or N4R

3 phase 160 Ampere (no 1 phase or 2 phase availability)

No longer offered for new installations
N5U or N5R 3 phase >160 Ampere (no 1 phase or 2 phase availability)
No longer offered for new installations
NMDU or NMDR 3 phase >100 Ampere (>70kVA) Demand Metering required

Note that no new connections are offered to the N4 and N5 tariff. If you require a supply greater than 100 Ampere, you will be offered the Maximum Demand (NMD) Tariff (the U or R indicates a pricing differential between properties that are defined as Urban or Rural).

We encourage you to carefully consider the supply option that best suits your long-term needs as the capacity of the supply under these General Tariffs is restricted by the size of the fuse installed.

If you wish to connect loads that may require a large starting current, such as an irrigation pump, you need to give careful consideration to the size of the connection required.  Alternatively you can install special equipment (eg soft starters) that will manage the initial current to ensure the supply fuse is not damaged.

Horizon also offers a domestic tariff (to qualifying customers) with a capped fixed daily charge of 15 cents.
