New rates

[Mark2007]

So, just got my email telling me my tariff is increasing by 20% while my feed-in tariff is dropping by 20%.

Is this for real?

So Thanks AGL.. you've just increased my rates from the 1st of July 2025 after having only just increased them at the start of April 2025.. so you're not waiting 12 months to increase rates now every 3 months !

Thanks to federal government policy to pull apart a perfectly good energy system and replace it with an inefficient one and then charge everyone for it. As long as everybody votes for this I guess the rates will just keep increasing to pay for the new infrastructure..

Lots of unhappy power consumers around the country now Andy.

It's the AER setting base pricing in various states / regions, and ALL retailers (even wholesalers like Amber) are hit with the same new DMO prices.

Retailers work out how they will charge their customers, with very huge price spikes and fluctuations in the rates they get charged, I really think it's like a gamble for retailers . . . so they often aim high to ensure they are covered for what they need to operate and profit.

That's no ease in the hip pocket pain, I know.

Best you can do is make sure you ARE on the best plan for your home power usage, compare retailers as some have better options for different home power usage patterns.

Personally, the few times I have looked around at energymadeeasy.gov.au I have found no other retailer here in SA to suit us.

The tariffs might be less, but the daily supply charge much higher, or vice versa.

Yes, govco is responsible for this, over the past 40 years or so, both majors.

They don't care, the more bills are, the more gst is reaped, govco own nothing productive now, and must get the $ needed to run the country and line their pensions from taxes. Plenty of new taxes in Aussies futures too.

Best of luck Andy, hope you can find the best offer you can.
