    160MWh/annum = 438 kWh/day

    Who'd use over that, that wasn't running a commercial hydro setup from home?

      In the gold rush days of bitcoin mining, it was profitable to run mining machines at home 24/7 which would consume that much energy.

  • WhyAmICommenting on 27/07/2015 - 20:28

    Looks good, thanks. If I was single I would try to survive with basically no power - the latest raise by AGL (QLD): $1.30 a day just to have electricity.

    • Mad Max on 28/07/2015 - 22:43

      Origin has also increased the daily charge to $1.28 per day (from around $0.88) . And the cost per Kwh on all tariffs has also increased. The best thing would be to find the way to be off the grid.

  • Andoes on 27/07/2015 - 20:59

    This appears the be SA only?

    As always, compare the discounted rate with other suppliers first - something like this might sound good at face value, but if it's a discount from an already inflated rate, then it may still be more expensive than the alternatives. The Origin flat rate in Vic for United Energy is $0.25, but for Momentum it's $0.16 (http://www.originenergy.com.au/content/dam/origin/residentia… versus http://www.momentumenergy.com.au/system/files/documents/PPIS…). Go peak/off peak the cost could be $0.34/$0.13 versus $0.21/$0.07. What it will cost you will depend a lot on all sorts of variables such as distributor and supply type (fixed rate, flexible rate/peak/offpeak/etc), but basically - again - don't take these sorts of offers at face value.

    Need to update the OP title to SA

      Done. Thanks.

      • PotPlant on 27/07/2015 - 21:49

        And maybe get rid of NSW? Or is there a promo I can't find for NSW?

        • whodidthat on 27/07/2015 - 22:14

          They're all different:

          SA: Half off then 16% discount on electricity, 12% on gas

          NSW: Half off then 15% discount on electricity, 12% on gas

          VIC: No half off. 6% discount on electricity, 3% on gas.

          @whodidthat: Thanks so much!

  • congo on 27/07/2015 - 22:35

    How to get this deal if you are already with Origin?

    • whodidthat on 28/07/2015 - 09:40

      If you are already with them, sign in to your account online and look at what other discount options are available. You can switch around anytime.

      • congo on 28/07/2015 - 15:22

        Which option would this fall under?
        Can't seem to find the option after I log on.

        • whodidthat on 28/07/2015 - 16:04

          You won't find one offering half price - they more or less say if you already have an account bars you from it:

          Already with us?

          Origin customers, if you already have either an electricity or natural gas account for your home with us, switch your other fuel (electricity or natural gas) to us by 31 August 2015 and pay only half of our electricity usage and supply charges for 3 months. That’s 50% off for 3 months.

  • nijnat on 27/07/2015 - 22:41

    You can't if you are already with Origin for both electricity and gas. But if you are only with them for one of the services, you can sign up for the other service and be eligible for the offer.

    "No exit fees" OK, so now Im interested.

    • seanbaussie on 28/07/2015 - 08:25

      I wondered about that too, given its a 12 month contract can I cancel after 3 months? Anyone know? Rental ends then.

  • em on 28/07/2015 - 10:43

    The charges are difficult to work out… Currently with EnergyAustralia, electricity, ongoing 18% off:

    Electricity rates Incl. GST
    First 10.9589 kWh of Peak usage per day 24.178 c/kWh
    Next 10.9589 kWh of Peak usage per day 23.848 c/kWh
    Balance of Peak daily usage > 21.9178 kWh 23.54 c/kWh
    Electricity Supply Charge per day $0.726

    Origin electricity, ongoing 15% off:

    Domestic / Domestic Continuous Supply / Domestic All Time
    Peak Usage first 10.9589 kWh per day
    23.331 c/kWh

    Peak Usage next 10.9589 kWh per day
    22.704 c/kWh

    Remaining Usage
    22.572 c/kWh

    Supply Charge
    83.171 c/day

    Origin's rates are slightly lower but the supply charge is higher and the discount percent is lower. With 50% off it's probably a good deal but not sure if it's a good deal ongoing.

    • DarkOz on 08/08/2015 - 12:36

      I just switched. With the 50% off it'll be a good deal. If the discount doesn't add up ongoing you can always switch again at the earliest possible time.

        I took the same approach ;)
