    "my plan with origin energy is 23c per KW all the time, however up to 10 times during dec-mar...they text me...and between the hrs of 2 and 8pm..the cost goes to $3.15 a kw !!!
    there have been 5 so far this year...during those times i turn as much as i can off...use bbq for tea..no lights, tv etc...
    but doing research 23c per kw...is pretty good for south australia."

    Are they MAD? How can they justify $3.15/kw? That's got squat to do with energy conservation. That's all about making up some lost ground in revenue from people conserving power. I've always wondered, if everyone did use far less water/power and petrol how would those suppliers survive. They would simply up the price to offset the reduced volume.
