We have set the Victorian Default Offer prices to apply from 1 July 2023 to 30 June 2024. Average annual bills for default offer customers will go up by about 25 per cent. This is due to a large increase in wholesale electricity costs.
Our latest energy market report tracks energy retailer activity and consumer trends for October to December 2022, including articles covering compliance and enforcement activity, customers experiencing payment difficulty, disconnections, market entry and exit, and reports and reviews.
