Powering Norfolk Island with BESY Energy

Norfolk Island Electricity Tariffs

Electricity tariffs on Norfolk Island are dynamic, reflecting the use of electricity generated from solar panels and the diesel-fired power station, and the large amount of energy storage now installed on the island. The applicable tariff each half-hour is determined by which generation technology is in use, and the flow of electricity into or out the available batteries.

These tariffs are two-way, with the graph below shown the tariff that applies to consumption. The sold tariff moves with consumption tariff, with a discount of between 5c/kWh and 15c/kWh.

Electricity Tariffs

The 2026-27 electricity tariffs applicable on Norfolk Island are as follows:

  • $1.53 per day for the daily supply charge
  • $2 (single phase meter) or $8 (three phase meter) per quarter for the metering charge
  • $29.85 per quarter senior's rebate, limited to 1 per residence

The BESY pricing engine establishes the underlying price for electricity using $0.1cents/kWh increments, which are then converted into the following eight energy tariffs.

Diesel in use
Energy Consumed: 83c/kWh
Energy Sold: 73c/kWh
Applies with the diesel generators are operating. Will also continue to apply to consumption measured with old accumulation meters
Battery discharging
Energy Consumed: 50c/kWh
Energy Sold: 35c/kWh
Applies when the central battery is supplying the island and the diesel generators are off.
System-in-balance
Energy Consumed: 20c/kWh
Energy Sold: 10c/kWh
Applies when distributed generation matches consumption on the island, and the central battery is neither absorbing or injecting significant electricity.
Battery charging
Energy Consumed: 10c/kWh
Energy Sold: 5c/kWh
Applies when distributed generation exceeds consumption on the island, and the central battery is absorbing electricity.
