By the end of the decade, it’s anticipated every home in Australia will be paying time-of-use, or cost-reflective, tariffs, rather than a flat rate for our electricity.
Some households though are getting much higher electricity bills because their electricity retailer didn’t tell them they’d been put on a time-of-use tariff and have to pay more during peak periods.
Brendan French, the Chief Executive of Energy Consumers Australia, outlines why cost-reflective tariffs shouldn’t be mandatory, and why we need to simplify consumer bills, not make them more complicated.
