Energy is easy with Power Hours

Tasmanian energy retailer, Aurora Energy, has gifted households over two million free Power Hours since the new, innovative program was first established in January 2024.

Power Hours is a feature of Aurora Energy’s free aurora+ application, giving residential customers the flexibility to choose their preferred timeslot and take advantage of free electricity.

Aurora Energy customers have applauded the new program, with many saving up to $30 per event. Customers who participate in multiple Power Hours events can quickly grow their total savings, particularly during the cooler months.

Aurora Energy customer, Marie*, said Hobart Winters can be brutal when it’s cold and raining. 

“We don’t have a dryer at home but with Power Hours, I was able to turn on all [of] the heaters in our house and dry our wet clothes in time for work the next day.”

Aurora Energy Chief Customer Officer, Will Barbour, said Power Hours not only saves households money but the program can also increase understanding about how customers use energy within the home, which can lead to further savings.

“An aurora+ customer may be surprised when they make a small saving from Power Hours but it’s an indication that you’re already practising energy efficient behaviours,” Mr Barbour said.

“I encourage all aurora+ residential customers to take advantage of our multiple, free Power Hours events, it’s one of our ways of making energy easy during the cool winter months.”

All Aurora Energy residential customers with an active aurora+ account are eligible to participate in Power Hours events, for more information visit auroraenergy.com.au/aurora-plus/power-hours
