Power bills in some states could drop by up to 10 per cent

The Australian Energy Regulator proposes electricity price drops between 1.3% and 10.1% for households and small businesses due to lower wholesale costs and increased renewable energy.

  • Hundreds of thousands of Australian households in NSW, South Australia, and southeast Queensland could save up to $200 on electricity bills next financial year due to proposed default market offers, with price drops between 1.3% and 10.1%.
  • The lowering of default market offers is due to falling electricity costs, especially wholesale prices, increased wind and battery generation, and government reforms, according to regulator chair Clare Savage.
  • Only 10% of households remain on default offers; the regulator encourages customers to switch to mid-market deals, which can save up to 12% more.
