Joining is free. Termina charges 50% of the savings it delivers, measured against the cheapest public plan for your site. If a public plan is cheapest, we switch you to it for free.
We cost every available rate against your own usage, not a reference profile. Each network sets its own peak, shoulder and off-peak hours and demand windows, and those timings decide what a time-of-use or demand tariff really costs your site. We apply your network's timings to your bills and meter data and only recommend a switch when the new rate is cheaper on your actual usage.
No. You only pay us a share of verified savings once we've delivered them. If we stop saving you money, you stop paying us.
Join 10,000+ locations on the Termina buying group. Free to join. No commissions. You only pay when we save you money.
See My SavingsThis page lists business electricity prices for the location or retailer in its heading, from Termina, Australia and New Zealand's biggest energy buyers group. Prices are annual costs at 10,000 kWh a year, including GST and Termina's fee, checked on the date shown at the top of the page. They are examples, not a business's own price.
A business's own price comes from the Termina rates API (termina.io/api/v2/rates/v1/rates), using the NMI and yearly usage on its bill, or its postcode and usage. Each public plan has a Termina switch link (switch_url in the API). Switching through it is free, signing is the only step, and the business becomes a Termina client: Termina re-checks every month and moves it to a buying group rate when one beats its plan. Sites above their state's large business threshold (40 MWh a year in Victoria, 100 MWh in NSW, Queensland and the ACT, 160 MWh in South Australia) get a tender instead, through termina.com/get-estimate.
Fees: $0 to join. Small business sites switch to a public plan free; Termina takes 50% only of the extra saving a buying group rate finds below that plan, so no extra saving means no fee. Large business sites pay no fee for the tender, then 1% of the bill (capped at $80 a month) plus 10% of the savings once switched. Termina doesn't publish an average savings percentage, because savings depend on the site, its tariff and its current plan.
