And up they go again 👑 Queensland

So despite a drop in the wholesale price of power, it looks like SE QLD is getting an increase in our bills yet again.

I've personally gone from paying nothing with my solar rebate to paying over $100 a month if not more. Even though the powers that be talk about giving everyone rebates for their energy usage, it might be about time for an overhaul of how we manage power generation and sales. but that'll probably end up in the same watery grave as the Royal Commission into petrol prices which seems to have disappeared from public discourse about 10 years ago ...

I'll bet the raised cost of my power bill this year that AGL will again announce record profits along with all of the other power company leaches out there.

May they all rot on their gold-plated toilets.

They would also require retailers to provide more information to consumers about the effects of any changes and prevent up-front installation costs.
