How much more will I pay on average?

Across Australia, households might pay between $70-$300 extra annually, while small businesses in NSW could face increases near $500.

When do these increases start?

Both AGL and Origin price hikes take effect July 1, with some residential rate spikes beginning August 1 in NSW.

How can I get help with higher bills?

You’ll automatically receive federal subsidies ($75 per quarter); concession holders in Victoria get extra support. Plus, both retailers have hardship programs available.

Will switching providers help?

Yes. Many non-default plans are discounted, some 27% cheaper than benchmark rates. Compare using government online tools.

Why haven’t costs decreased despite more renewables?

Although renewables are increasing, high wholesale costs, network investments and retail margins are still inflating bills. NSW grids also faced thermal shutdowns and transitions affecting prices.
