A quick estimate, no sign-up. Enter your flexible capacity, how often you can shift it, and the prices you see today. We show the delta you'd capture by running the same load during cheaper windows.
The capacity you could realistically shift to a cheaper window.
How long each shifted run lasts.
How often you expect to capture a better window.
Average spot price during your current operating hours.
Average spot price in the cheaper windows you’d shift to.
Wholesale spot component only. Excludes retail margin, network tariffs, and environmental charges. Assumes the target windows materialise at the price you enter — which is what the Load Shift Advisor verifies from live pre-dispatch data.
Savings per MWh shifted = current price − target-window price. Multiply by the flexible load (MW), the shift duration (hours), and the frequency (shifts per month) to reach annual savings.
The estimate assumes you can reliably find target windows at your target price. In practice, how often those windows appear depends on your region and the time of year — which is exactly what gridIQ’s Load Shift Advisor surfaces automatically from pre-dispatch forecasts and weather data.
This calculator is deliberately simple. It ignores your retail contract structure, network tariffs, and environmental charges. Treat it as the upper-bound of the wholesale spot component only — a starting point for a conversation, not a binding forecast.
The Load Shift Advisor shows you the cheapest and cleanest operating windows for the next 72 hours, across all six Australian regions — with dollar savings estimated from live pre-dispatch data.
