Question asked
- How are price increases to electricity in the ACT justifiable, given that in some cases people are seeing their total bill increase despite their usage dropping.
- Why are electricity prices continually increasing by significant margins.
- Why aren't the benefits of lower cost energy passed on to consumers, given we constantly hear that renewable energy is the cheapest form of energy and that the ACT uses 100 percent renewable electricity.
- What would need to change in the ACT for consumers to see significant price reductions in the cost of energy.
- Will the ACT Government advocate for an increase in the Australian Government Energy Bill Relief offset, given that it has not increased from the fixed $75 per quarter and given the excessive price increases Canberran consumers are having to bear.
