Offers with conditions

These ActewAGL offers pay a feed-in only if you meet a condition, so none of them is the headline rate above. The condition is in plain words, with the start of the retailer's own wording underneath.

ActewAGL's VPP and battery programs

ActewAGL VPP

Battery VPP · Open to new customers · ACT and NSW

ActewAGL's VPP comes two ways: the Battery Saver plan halves your daily supply charge, or the Battery Power Top-Up add-on pays a $60 credit every quarter on another ActewAGL plan. ActewAGL never drains your battery below 20%.

The program pages list the credits, eligible batteries, reserve and lock-in terms from ActewAGL's own pages, with the date each was checked. The AER plan data also lists 2 ActewAGL feed-in offer groups that need a battery or VPP enrolment; they're in the conditions table above.

Solar Sharer plans

Solar Sharer plans charge nothing for power you use during a set midday window, up to a daily limit. The AER plan data lists ActewAGL Solar Sharer plans in NSW. How the offer works, and every retailer's plans, are on our Solar Sharer page.

Rate history

We started recording snapshots of the AER plan data on 28 September 2026, so ActewAGL's history here starts then. The first snapshot was a partial pull (15 retailers) that included ActewAGL. The table shows the best generally available flat rate in each snapshot.

State 28 Sept 202629 Sept 20261 Oct 2026
NSW 5c, first 15 kWh, then 2c5c, first 15 kWh, then 2c5c, first 15 kWh, then 2c
ACT 5c, first 15 kWh, then 3c5c, first 15 kWh, then 3c5c, first 15 kWh, then 3c

No change between 28 Sept 2026 and 1 Oct 2026. 3 snapshots 3 days apart can't show a trend; the table gains a column each time we refresh the data.

What an export is worth

At 5c/kWh on the first 15 kWh a day (NSW and the ACT), the first tier pays at most $0.75 a day, or $274 over a year in which you export past the cap every day. Every kWh after the cap earns 3c in the ACT; 2c in NSW. Each kWh of solar you use yourself instead saves a kWh at your plan's usage rate, which is on the same plan's fact sheet.

Our savings calculator estimates both halves for your postcode and system size, and a home battery stores daytime solar for the evening instead of exporting it.
