With the cost of electricity set to soar, three-quarters of Australian households say they will make changes to how they use electricity to try to avoid a bigger bill.
The survey comes after the Australian Energy Regulator this week raised the standard electricity price due to rising generation costs in the face of floods, the Ukraine war and coal plant outages, meaning higher power bills for all residential and business customers.Some 75 per cent of respondents said they would make changes to their energy usage, while 25 per cent said they would make no changes.
The AER has its own dedicated price comparison website, Energy Made Easy, which Ms Savage said showed offers allowing residential customers to save about $443, or 24 per cent, on their bills. Several state governments will provide financial help for families struggling to pay their power bills.Some 58 per cent of ACT residents said they would be reducing their use of non-essential appliances this winter.
