Two major energy retailers announced prices will rise in the coming months, adding hundreds of dollars to the annual average bill.
AGL said eligible customers on its Staying Connected hardship program will receive up to $400 in bill credits in the winter period to minimise the impact from price increases.
Small businesses will also face a price hike, with Origin Energy outlining an average increase of $590 in Victoria, $705 in Queensland, $918 in New South Wales, and $1,133 in South Australia.
