Target: N.S.W State and Federal Governments
Region: Australia
Background (Preamble):
Electricity will become too expensive for everyone, in particular low income earners i.e those already living below the poverty line.
The Independent Pricing and Regulatory Tribunal (IPART), the New South Wales pricing regulator has confirmed a 64 percent increase in electricity prices for NSW, with the cost increases due to the increasing costs associated with maintaining the the energy networks and the Federal Government's Carbon Pollution Reduction Scheme (CPRS).
Within New South Wales, homeowners and businesses are likely to see price increases of anywhere from 46 percent up to 64 percent depending on where they live and their current supplier over the next 3 years. The Federal Governments’ CPRS is likely to contribute 40 percent to 56 percent to these total cost increases.
By 2013 a ‘typical’ business customer could see rises of over $3,000 – customers can expect the following increases:
* EnergyAustralia $2421 (60 percent)
* Integral Energy $1660 (46 percent)
* Country Energy $3070 (64 percent)
