Costing new or unused tariffs using uncertain information is likely to result in inaccurate estimates of electricity costs (e.g. ratios of peak and off-peak utilisation, exceedance of demand thresholds). Farming system considerations may also be relevant to tariff decisions (production impacts, times of use). Seek professional advice before making changes.
