March 30th, 2026Three Hours Of Free Power Every Day

Victorians will soon be able to access three hours of free power in the middle of the day, every day of the week.

This could save families up to $300 per year off their energy bills, and up to $1,070 if they have solar panels and batteries.

Victoria’s Midday Power Saver offer will be available from 1 October 2026.

This will benefit households who can shift their electricity use to the middle of the day.

That includes people who work from home.

And the overall benefit to Victoria is reduced peak demand, which is good for reliability and security.

Under the plan, retailers will be required to offer a discounted tariff to households during the day.

About 2.6 million Victorian households will be eligible for the Midday Power Saver offer and can opt into the program with their energy provider.

More details, including the time periods and prices for the offer across the state, will be released in May.
