Trial Tariffs

At Jemena, we are excited by innovation and exploring new ways of doing things. In response to customer demand, and under section 6.18.1C of the National Electricity Rules, we will introduce two new trial tariffs from 1 July 2026. These tariffs are in trial only, and the tariffs, structure and any other component may change as we respond to the results of the trial. 


Network prices represent only a portion of your bill. Your final bill will depend on your unique energy profile and your retailer’s fees and charges. For more information, contact us at 1300 131 871 or your electricity retailer.
