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.
The tariffs are two-way, as residents both buy and sell electricity at these rates.

Electricity Tariffs
The current electricity tariffs applicable on Norfolk Island are as follows:
$1.20 per day for daily supply charge
This charge will increase in next few years to reflect the cost of operating the central power station and electricity network.$2, $8 or $19 per billing period metering charge
$27.75 per quarter senior's rebate, limited to 1 per residence
The BESY pricing engine establishes the underlying price for electricity using 10c/kWh increments, which are then converted into the follow four energy tariffs.
- 82c/kWhDiesel in use
- Applies with the diesel generators are operating. Will also continue to apply to consumption measured with old accumulation meters
- 41c/kWhBattery discharging
- Applies when the central battery is supplying the island and the diesel generators are off.
- 20c/kWhSystem-in-balance
- Applies when distributed generation matches consumption on the island, and the central battery is neither absorbing or injecting significant electricity.
- 5c/kWhBattery charging
- Applies when distributed generation exceeds consumption on the island, and the central battery is absorbing electricity.
