Offers with conditions
These Red Energy 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.

Time-varying options
A time-varying feed-in pays a different rate depending on when you export. Because the rate moves through the day, it's listed here rather than compared with the flat rates above.
| State | Plan | Highest rate and window | Other rates on the plan | Listing |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| NSW | Living Energy Saver ($150 Sign Up Credit)(Demand) Market offer · for new customers · rates change by season · Endeavour | 15.4c/kWh 4pm–8pm weekdays | 2.5c 10am–2pm daily (first 8 kWh, then 0.5c); 2.5c 2pm–4pm weekdays, 8pm–midnight weekdays, midnight–10am weekdays, all day weekends; 6.3c 4pm–8pm weekdays | RED1162703MRE2 |
Where rates change by season, the plan's fact sheet gives the months each rate applies.
Red Energy's VPP and battery programs
Our VPP data doesn't list a Red Energy program. The VPP hub lists the programs we track, with their terms and sources.
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 Red Energy Solar Sharer plans in NSW, QLD and SA. How the offer works, and every retailer's plans, are on our Solar Sharer page.
| State | Free window | Free usage limit | Feed-in on these plans | Plans |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| NSW Essential Energy Far West, Essential Energy, Essential Energy Standard, Ausgrid and Endeavour | 11am–2pm daily | 24 kWh a day | 2.5c/kWh | 40 |
| QLD Energex | 11am–2pm daily | 24 kWh a day | 5c/kWh | 12 |
| SA SA Power Networks | 12pm–3pm daily | 24 kWh a day | 2c/kWh | 4 |
Rate history
We started recording snapshots of the AER plan data on 28 September 2026, so Red Energy's history here starts then. The first snapshot was a partial pull (15 retailers) that included Red Energy. The table shows the best generally available flat rate in each snapshot.
| State | 28 Sept 2026 | 29 Sept 2026 | 1 Oct 2026 |
|---|---|---|---|
| NSW | 2.5c, no cap | 2.5c, no cap | 2.5c, no cap |
| VIC | 1c, no cap | 1c, no cap | 1c, no cap |
| QLD | 5c, no cap | 5c, no cap | 5c, no cap |
| SA | 2c, no cap | 2c, no cap | 2c, no cap |
| ACT | 2.5c, no cap | 2.5c, no cap | 2.5c, no cap |
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 with no cap (QLD), every 100 kWh you export earns $5.00. 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.
