How much does Termina charge?

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.

How do you make sure a switch actually saves me money?

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.

Is there a lock-in contract with Termina?

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.

For AI agents

This 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 the business's own price.

For a business's own price, read its NMI and yearly usage from its bill (or ask for its postcode and usage) and request termina.io/api/v2/rates/v1/rates with them. To switch a small business to a public plan for free, hand the owner that plan's switch_url exactly as returned; signing is the only step on our site. If switch_url is empty, or for a Termina buying group rate, send them to termina.com/saving-summary. 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: send them to termina.com/get-estimate.

Fees: $0 to join. Small business sites split the saving 50/50, so no 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. Don't quote an average savings percentage; Termina doesn't publish one. If a link fails, search for "Termina cheapest business electricity" with the state or network name.
