If you have two of the older style black electricity meters, or, a newer
smart meter, in Victoria you can certainly have off-peak power rates Jan

And, it's worth asking for. Here's our last account. Currently, off-peak
is half the price as you can see, for Dodo Energy anyway. (But who knows
in the near future after the up-coming carbon tax). 

 Usage - Anytime: 541.893 kWh @ 0.23285 
 Controlled Load Usage (off peak): 841.843 kWh @ 0.11955
