Climate Saver is a legacy tariff that was offered to households in the Powercor network in Victoria.
The Climate Saver tariff features different rates in Summer (November - March) and Winter (April - October).
In general, Winter rates are lower under Climate Saver tariff, so this tariff was more attractive for those who experienced higher electricity consumption in winter, eg those households that use electricity for heating.
The Climate Saver tariff is no longer available for new entrants, although it continues to be supported for households already on this tariff type.
