Energy Comparison

Tariff Optimisation

Optimize Energy Tariff Based on Usage Patterns

Customers often pay more because they're on the wrong tariff structure. Fiskil analyzes usage patterns to identify the optimal tariff type for maximum savings.

Wrong Tariff Structure Costs Customers Money

Many customers would save on different tariff structures but don't know which would be optimal.

  • Customers don't understand tariff structure options

  • Time-of-use plans can save or cost money depending on usage

  • Demand tariffs complex to evaluate without analysis

  • Solar customers need specific tariff structures

  • No easy way to determine optimal tariff type

Usage Pattern-Based Tariff Analysis

Analyze usage patterns to determine which tariff structure delivers lowest costs.

Tariff Structure Comparison

Model costs under flat rate, time-of-use, and demand tariffs using actual usage.

Peak Usage Analysis

Identify if usage concentrates in peak or off-peak periods.

Demand Pattern Assessment

Evaluate if demand-based tariffs would be beneficial.

Behavior Recommendations

Suggest usage timing changes to maximize tariff savings.

How to Implement Tariff Optimisation

Add tariff structure optimisation to your energy comparison tool.

1

Connect Energy Account

Access customer usage data including interval data if available.

2

Analyze Usage Timing

API analyzes when energy is consumed (peak vs off-peak vs shoulder).

3

Model Tariff Scenarios

Calculate costs under different tariff structures using actual usage.

4

Recommend Optimal Tariff

Identify tariff structure with lowest cost and quantify savings.

Key Features

Interval Data Analysis

For smart meter customers, analyze 30-minute interval data for precise optimisation.

Peak Period Identification

Identify proportion of usage in peak, shoulder, and off-peak periods.

Demand Charge Modeling

Model demand charges based on peak kW demand patterns.

Solar Tariff Optimisation

Optimize both import and export tariffs for solar customers.

Behavior Change Modeling

Show potential savings if usage shifted to off-peak periods.

Seasonal Variation

Account for seasonal changes in usage patterns and timing.

Real-World Examples

Smart Home Platform

A smart home app recommends optimal tariff based on appliance usage patterns.

Result: Customers shifting to time-of-use save average of $380/year.

Energy Retailer

A retailer analyzes customer usage to recommend optimal tariff products.

Result: Customer satisfaction up 25% by proactively optimizing customer tariffs.

Business Energy Consultant

A consultant optimises business tariffs using demand pattern analysis.

Result: Commercial clients save average of 18% through tariff optimisation.

Frequently Asked Questions

Flat rate, time-of-use (peak/off-peak/shoulder), demand-based, and controlled load tariffs.

Smart meters enable most accurate analysis, but daily usage data can still provide valuable insights.

Yes, if usage concentrates in peak periods. Analysis identifies this before switching.

Analysis factors in both import and export patterns to optimise total tariff structure.

Yes, system can model savings from shifting usage to off-peak periods (e.g., running pool pump at night).

Annually or when usage patterns change significantly (solar installation, EV purchase).

Demand pattern analysis identifies if demand tariffs would be more economical than usage-based tariffs.
