Restaurants in Holland Park — the energy snapshot
Logan Road retail and dining — they all run on the same Energex distribution network, but the retailers quoting them charge wildly different rates for the same kilowatt-hour.
Typical restaurant usage profile
- Annual electricity: 60,000 kWh–220,000 kWh a year
- Peak demand: 25–90 kVA at the busiest 15-minute window
- Tariff that usually wins: TOU with peak-window management; bundled gas where available
- Gas (where applicable): 200–800 GJ/yr typical for à la carte kitchens
Where Holland Park restaurants usually overpay

Restaurant energy in Holland Park — common questions
How exactly are Smarta Switch paid?
When we move your account to a new retailer, that retailer pays us a commission — partly upfront, partly as a trail over the life of the contract. We don't charge you a fee, mark up your rate, or add anything to your invoice. Ask us the exact dollar amount on any specific deal — we'll tell you.
Will my power get cut off when I switch?
No. Switching retailers doesn't touch the wires or your meter. Same poles, same wires, same network operator (Energex for nearly all SEQ). You just get a different name on your invoice — and a better number.
How long does a switch take?
Typical SEQ small-business switch: 10–20 business days from signing the Letter of Authority. We send the LoA, you sign, we lodge with the new retailer, they handle the meter-data hand-off with the network. Your old contract ends, the new one starts.
Can I bundle gas and electricity on one bill?
Yes — Origin, AGL, EnergyAustralia, and Shell Energy can all bundle. Sometimes the bundled discount is real; sometimes splitting them across two retailers wins on price. We test both before recommending.
What's a demand charge and why is mine so high?
Demand charges are the highest 15- or 30-minute usage peak in the month, multiplied by a $/kVA rate. If you've got AC cycling on at the same time as kitchen equipment, that peak compounds. The fix is usually a tariff that prices demand more fairly — or moving you off demand-tariffs altogether if your usage is too small to need them.
When should I renew my contract?
60–90 days before your current term ends. Don't let it roll over to default rates — those are usually 15–30% higher than what's available on the market. Send us your bill 60 days out and we'll re-quote.

We're paid by the energy retailer when you switch — never by you.
When we move your account to a new retailer, that retailer pays us a commission — partly upfront, partly as a trail while you're with them. Your rate is your rate. There's no markup, no broker fee on your invoice, no monthly subscription.
We disclose the commission existence on every quote. If you want to know the exact dollar amount on a deal, ask. We'll tell you.
This is why we win on transparency: we'd rather show you the maths than dress up the savings.
