How it works:
For Home
The EnergyFlex app is an easy-to-use tool that teaches you how to match your household energy use with renewables in the electricity grid.
This is where minor shifts make a major impact.
minor shifts.
Major impact.
No two households use energy the same way.
We know this, so we’ve designed the EnergyFlex app to offer practical energy-saving suggestions that are minor shifts in the way you use electricity in your home, but have a major positive impact.
This could be as simple as offering to find you the best energy tariff, or guiding you on hundreds of no-cost, low-cost and investment energy-saving actions you can take to reduce your electricity bills and lower your carbon emissions.
But, timing is everything.

Timing is everything.
When you use electricity is more important than how much you use.
Using energy at peak times strains the grid, even if you use less overall. Shift your usage to cheaper times to save money and support clean energy. The EnergyFlex app shows you how.
How it works
EnergyFlex empowers you to reduce your energy bills and carbon emissions through small, practical changes in how and when you use energy.
This is how Wendy did it:
Wendy is concerned by her rising energy bills and wonders what she can do to reduce them.
She has heard about EnergyFlex and signs to EnergyFlex
Wendy securely shares her smart meter data to begin receiving her personalised EnergyFlex Rating.
Wendy's Rating is 2.6 out of 5.
If she shifts some of her energy use to align with renewables, she can improve her Rating.
Through her EnergyFlex Dashboard, Wendy learns about heaps of no cost, low cost and investment actions she can take to improve her Rating and begin reducing her energy costs and emissions.

How does the EnergyFlex Rating work?
Energy retailers provide your home with electricity generated from a mix of fossil fuels and renewable energy like wind and solar power.
Your EnergyFlex Rating is a score out of 5 that measures your impact on the power grid and your ability to use renewable energy when it’s available.
A low Rating (0 – 2.5) indicates that most of your electricity comes from expensive fossil fuels.
A high Rating (3.5 – 5) indicates that most of your electricity comes from cheap, and at times free, renewable energy. A real win for lowering household electricity bills!
