Who Gets the Most from This Plan?

Everyday Open Term suits households that value flexibility and simplicity over locking into a fixed‑term: renters, small families, and larger homes that prefer standard variable pricing with the option to change plans without exit fees. It also fits customers on networks where Controlled or Day/Night meter tariffs are available and who want straightforward daily and per‑kWh charges. It can be particularly cost‑effective for EV owners who can shift charging to the night window and add the EV Discount (20% off variable usage from 9pm to 7am) to capture regular, predictable savings. Solar households can remain on Everyday Open Term while exporting excess power; Mercury’s standard residential buy‑back rate applies by default, with higher promotional buy‑back available only under specific fixed‑term solar arrangements. Everyday Open Term is not designed for business use; small businesses should consider Mercury’s business plans.

How Your Plan Pricing Can Change?

On Everyday Open Term, Mercury may change electricity prices by giving customers notice—typically at least 30 days before the effective date When a change is driven by third‑party changes (for example, lines companies or regulators) and 30 days’ notice is not reasonably possible, Mercury provides as much notice as it can Bills that span a change date are pro‑rated to show charges at the old and new rates. Valid reasons for price adjustments include updates to transmission and distribution (lines) charges set or constrained under regulatory settings, metering costs, market and wholesale energy cost movements, government or regulatory levies and compliance changes (including the multi‑year phase‑out of Low Fixed Charge regulations), inflationary or cost‑to‑serve impacts, and corrections if meter configuration or pricing category information was incorrect Fixed‑term plans may have separate price‑change protections; Everyday Open Term has no fixed price period and remains subject to change with notice.

Who Gets the Most from This Plan?

Small families and standard households: The combination of a simple open‑term plan or a 1‑year fixed plan plus Rewards (e.g., Free Power Days) suits families who value predictable pricing with occasional high‑use days (e.g., laundry, cooking, heating) and who want a Dual Fuel Discount on gas when bundling. • Large households and high users: Standard User pricing structures (higher daily charge, lower variable rates) and options like EV Discount (20% off variable usage 9pm–7am) can help heavier‑use homes or those able to shift usage overnight reduce costs. Free Power Days are particularly valuable if you can batch energy‑intensive tasks. • EV owners and night‑shift users: Customers who charge vehicles or can run appliances overnight benefit from the EV Discount and Night/Day or Controlled tariffs. Solar users should note some fixed‑price electricity plans don’t combine with solar buy‑back options; moving to a solar plan generally shifts you to open‑term rates, so solar households may prefer open‑term plans for flexibility.

How Your Plan Pricing Can Change?

<p>Open-term electricity prices can be changed by Mercury with advance notice (typically at least 30 days; if the change is driven by a third party and 30 days isn’t possible, notice is given as soon as reasonably practicable) Bills issued spanning an effective date may show charges at the old and new prices for the relevant periods Reasons Mercury cites for price changes include updates to transmission and distribution (lines) charges, metering costs, market levies, regulatory or policy changes (e.g., Low Fixed Charge phase-out, determinations by regulators), and broader supply‑chain/wholesale cost movements For fixed‑term plans, some offers fix energy prices for the term (excluding GST and service fees), while others allow price changes with 30 days’ notice as stated in their offer terms If a fixed‑term price is permitted to change under the relevant offer, Mercury will notify you in advance and, where applicable, you may have the option to terminate without early termination fees if the change is detrimental, as described in the plan’s terms.</p>

Business Spot Pricing suits organisations that can monitor and shift consumption to lower‑priced off‑peak periods or respond to market signals (e.g., light manufacturing, warehousing, cold storage, irrigation, or facilities with flexible HVAC/process loads). Customers already on TOU metering and comfortable with wholesale price variability can benefit when spot prices are low, but must be able to tolerate or manage volatility. It also aligns with small and medium businesses adding EV charging (able to schedule charging to off‑peak periods) or operating with on‑site solar where grid imports can be timed around production and market conditions. Households (small families/large households) are not the target audience because Rewards and residential offers differ from business eligibility, and business spot pricing is set up under Mercury’s business terms.

How Your Plan Pricing Can Change?

<p>Under Mercury’s Business General Terms, changes to prices, fees, or plan terms generally require at least 30 days’ notice If the change is minor and beneficial or of immaterial consequence, Mercury may make it without notice For plans with energy price flexibility (such as spot/wholesale-linked pricing), Mercury notes it will not contact you for the routine movement of energy prices, which can change in a shorter timeframe in line with market conditions If a fee or energy charge increase results in more than a 5% rise in the charge or total invoiced energy price (and is likely to have a material effect), a separate written notice with reasons is provided as soon as possible For Business Spot Pricing specifically, the energy component follows the wholesale market Invoices also pass through “Other Charges and Costs” (network, metering, and government levies), which may change when underlying third‑party or regulatory charges change; GST applies At the end of any contracted term, if you do not enter a new agreement, pricing moves to Mercury’s then‑current standard prices or spot‑market‑linked prices according to meter type.&nbsp;</p>

Who Gets the Most from This Plan?

Best suited to small and medium businesses (including multi‑site SMEs) that want bill certainty and administrative simplicity via a single blended per‑kWh rate and daily charge, and whose usage is relatively steady across the day/week. It’s less suited to users who can reliably shift large loads off‑peak to capture time‑of‑use or spot‑exposed savings, or very large C&amp;I customers who may prefer bespoke fixed/spot combinations and risk‑management structures.

How Your Plan Pricing Can Change?

<p>Mercury’s Business General Terms allow changes to pricing, fees, and other terms Minor changes that are beneficial to you or of immaterial consequence (including alignment to good industry practice or mandated requirements) may be made without notice; Mercury can reduce charges/fees at any time without notice If you are on a plan that provides for energy price flexibility, energy prices relating to the time/volume of energy may increase in a shorter timeframe in line with that plan In all other cases, Mercury gives not less than 30 days’ notice of changes If an energy charge/fee increase or the total invoiced price of the energy supplied is more than 5%, a separate written notice including reasons for the increase is provided You may choose an alternative pricing plan within 30 days of notice, and if you reasonably believe a change is detrimental, you may terminate the affected service/contract without exit fees by notifying Mercury within a reasonable time.&nbsp; If prices change during a billing cycle, Mercury pro‑rates the bill across the applicable rates On fixed price business agreements, Mercury reserves the right to pass through changes to GST, the forecast effect of ETS changes on energy costs, Mercury fees, and distribution/lines and government taxes/levies (including the Electricity Authority levy) Automatic renewal and end‑of‑term price notifications are set out in the fixed‑price special conditions.&nbsp;</p>
