Point of comparison:

The AEMO spot price for electricity in Victoria peaked at a bit under $14,000 per MWh over the last 24 hours.

About $13,000 in SA, briefly.

You’re saving your power utility a considerable amount of money by taking yourself offline during peaks.  You should expect recognition of that in your price negotiations.
