Evoenergy charges electricity retailers for using the ACT electricity network. Electricity retailers then set the final price you pay for using electricity (which also includes other costs, such as the cost of generating electricity). You probably won’t see Evoenergy’s network prices on your retail electricity bill, but Evoenergy’s costs are included in the overall price you pay to your electricity retailer.
Electricity tariffs describe how and how much you’re charged for using the electricity network. For example, the price you pay may be different depending on the time of day you use electricity, or whether you’re a residential or commercial customer.
Our prices and tariffs are approved by the Australian Energy Regulator (AER).

Our schedule of charges provides information on tariffs and charges associated with using the electricity network and services we provide:
-
ACT Large-scale Feed-in Tariff (LFiT)
The Australian Energy Regulator (AER) approved Evoenergy’s 2024-25 electricity network pricing proposal in May 2024.
The 2024-25 network charges approved by the AER do not include the impacts of the ACT Government’s Large-scale Feed-in Tariff (LFiT) Scheme. The 2024-25 LFiT amount has been applied as an adjustment to the AER’s approved charges for 2024-25, and is equivalent to an additional 0.258 cents per kilowatt-hour (kWh). This adjustment has been applied uniformly to the consumption charges (c/kWh) in Evoenergy’s tariffs.
To provide transparency to stakeholders we’ve published two schedules of network charges for 2024-25. The original network charges approved by the AER can be found here (provided for information only). The network charges inclusive of LFiT can be found here.
Tariff Structure Statement
Evoenergy is required to publish a Tariff Structure Statement (TSS) which provides detailed information about the network tariffs we charge to electricity retailers, and how these may change in the future.
Network charges on your electricity bill
Evoenergy passes through its network charges to electricity retailers, which then set the prices you pay for using electricity.
Evoenergy’s network charges are just one part of the total cost you pay for using electricity. Your electricity bill also reflects costs from your energy retailer (including the cost of buying electricity from generators), as well as jurisdictional charges set by the ACT Government.
Evoenergy’s network charges make up around 30% of your total electricity bill and include the following costs:
Distribution and transmission costs
This covers the costs of moving electricity from generators along the transmission lines (transmission charges), and then through our local distribution network to your home or business (distribution charges).
The AER determines how much revenue we can collect for the electricity network and checks our charges each year to make sure they recover the right amount of revenue and are reasonable. We’re focused on ensuring we operate the network efficiently, while keeping these costs as low as possible.
Jurisdictional charges
This covers the costs of jurisdictional obligations including ACT Government taxes, levies, and feed-in tariff schemes.
In 2016, the ACT Government legislated a target to source 100% renewable electricity by 2020, and the ACT reached that target in 2019.
To maintain this, the government works with solar and wind generators across Australia under LFiT scheme. We are responsible for administering the ACT Government’s LFiT scheme, including making payments to generators on behalf of the government. The costs of these payments are passed on to ACT electricity retailers and can change from year to year based on the prices in the wholesale energy market.
