Tasmanian electricity supplier, Aurora Energy has made a new pay offer to its workforce as part of negotiations over a new enterprise agreement.

Aurora is offering its employees a pay rise of 14 per cent over the next three years.

Spokesman Ted Bradshaw says it is the most the company can afford.

Mr Bradshaw says Aurora has agreed to a number of union claims, including increasing parental leave from 12 to 15 weeks.

The Electrical Trades Union has planned a stopwork meeting on Wednesday in protest at Aurora's plans to introduce a performance-based pay system.
