Questions and discussion about AGL's Energy plans and your AGL Energy account
Hi AGL,
I have just received the new electricity rates that take effect from July 1 and I am absolutely alarmed at the increase! This, in my opinion is nothing short of “highway robbery”. I would like someone to contact me with regard to negotiating a better rate.
I look forward to your response.
Thanks,
Warren Hanley
I am also stunned by the price increase of 36%. It must be wonderful to be in a business with such pricing power!
So much for renewables providing cheaper electricity- we are just so stupid in shutting down our ultra-cheap coal fired generators. The billions being spent on renewables should be applied instead to emissions control and get us back to sensible energy prices.
There is obviously nothing to be done about the price increase for electricity, but perhaps someone could explain the reason for the complete gouge of a 12% increase in the daily supply charge.
For a start you cannot earn revenue unless you supply your product- so the supply cost should be down to you, not us!
Furthermore, how can it cost any more to supply my 36% more expensive electricity on 1 July than 30 June?
This increase is totally unjustified and I don't know how or why you are allowed to get away with it.
One thing is for sure though- Minister Blackout Bowen will keep coming for you with never ending price increases from energy suppliers, caused by his stupid ideological quest taking us from having the cheapest electricity in the world to the most expensive!
Great result don't you think?
Hi @Fj1200, Welcome to neighbourhood. Following a decision by energy regulators, prices have unfortunately increased. This is based on factors including wholesale prices, network changes and market conditions and other factors. You can find out more information at our website here. Please get in touch with us if you want to make sure you're on the best rates for you as well. Thanks- Mark.
