are set to worsen for households with power bill prices forecast to soar by 35 per cent next year, energy company bosses have warned.
The early closure of coal-fired power stations is also creating a rocky transition to renewable energy. The forecast increase from Alinta Energy was not shared by the bosses of Origin Energy and EnergyAustralia. If the forecast jump in power prices happens, it would follow soaring costs in the UK, which prompted protests and calls for government intervention earlier this month.
Small businesses will close as they won't be able to pay their electricity bills. These governments are destroying us. And they just don't care.
Why nothing has changed.. there is more clean power being pumped bag into the grid than ever before and the power companies are reselling at 4 times the price.
So much for cheap renewables!!!!!
Thanks Bowen you stooge
Are all the climate change nut jobs happy?!
Welcome to the climate change revolution!
Fortunately the Palaszczuk Gov't; refuses to subsidise home solar batteries, has presided over the reduction of solar feed-in tariff from c$0.55/kw to $0.11 currently, and has forecast charging us additional fees for providing our excess household solar into the grid.
9NewsAdel Why doesn’t this surprise me you push everything to electric then jack up the price⚡️
Luckily, our leaders are looking after the people.
Albo will fix the problem!!
I thought albo and those useless greens said going 'green' would cut our power bills...wtf is this 😡
Oh look I got a pay rise, nek minnit - power price surge. What a fraudulent government.
⬆️⬆️⬆️⬆️⬆️⬆️⬆️⬆️⬆️⬆️⬆️⬆️⬆️ Labour's plan fvck u all 🖕🖕🖕🖕
Good 👍 people need to harden up anyway
What happens if we stopped paying and siphoned off the grid ? How long will they keep this up
9NewsSyd Government doesn't have the Balls to build a Clean Coal Power station like the way the world does or another Natural Gas one They are too scared of the backlash. They have no plan Renewable don't give us the base line power at peak times that we need
Wow those renewables are soooo good for us
If we all banned together and not pay the 35% plus increase what could they do ? Remember the squeaky wheel gets the oil
And these price hikes all began way back to the dud Julia Gillard
Just don’t raise the price, done.
Time to get my camper van.
Back in the medieval days they used candles to have light. Maybe this is the way of the future if your not wealthy or a politician
Of course they are. 🤦🏼♀️
A CRIME RACKET OF NOTE!! Australia has coal, goal, wind, solar resources. How about shutting down the climate misinformation dept & using the billions saved to enforce oversight & accountability to these corporate gangsters. And ban the Freemason cult running the politburo.
At least bring water prices down after all this rain , whats going on with the Albo goverment. İm not seeing any help with prices and etc. İnfact now were having to pay for ultrasounds cause it isnt being covered by medicare anymore..
800 million spent of fans and solar that will need maintenance and upgrades in 5 years. 800 mill spent on Nuclear would of had you right for 50+ years, and it would be cleaner and greener.
35% Aren't we getting our power for free by covering the environment in those big killing fans?
RIGPIG888 I really resent left-wing people voting for socialist politicians who are determined to see their neighbour suffer... all in the name of this new religion. Meanwhile Greenland's ice-shelf is doing just fine with record snowfall. What a joke, what a mess.
Nuclear power IS the way to be in this country. We have the resources
Life won't be easy under Labor's Absentese
Yay for the reckless transition to green energy!
How in gods green earth, does a sun-drenched country with the largest coal production per capita in the world have an electrical price hike it should be the other way around... something sinister is going on...
9NewsMelb We need a few nuclear power plants around the country. ASAP.
All part of the world plan😏
Hey AlboMP JEChalmers Bowenchris AdamBandt what's the plan now!! Electricity prices to go up again! WOW- life was suppose to be better under Labour, all that is happened so far is the cost of living has gone up and Politicians get wealthier!! nottoomanypoorpoliticians
Cmon Albo! Why are you letting this happen when you promised it wouldn't?
Keep pushing the green agenda, it seems to be going great. 🤡
9NewsMelb Remember when Labor promised the cost of living will be lower under their government before the election? ALP AlboMP JEChalmers AnotherLaborLie
Well it has to keep up with our inflation which apparently is running at 35% according to the greedy power companies..thanks boofhead Jeff Kennett for throwing this state under the bus and privatising all our essential services
Time for electricity production and supply to be state controlled. The private sector has failed
9NewsMelb Shouldn't the price of water go down? Given our damns are about to burst?
And what’s any government doing about it? Absolutely nothing. How’s privatisation working out
I seriously don’t get it, what is their justification? We are struggling enough already, the world has gone to shit
9NewsMelb In the reasons you've listed for the price increases, i think you missed out corporate greed
9NewsMelb Damn this renewable push is making everything worse… shocker 🤦♂️
Energy transformation pain. Old fossil fuel plants are shutting down, we don't have enough baseload, we don't have enough storage and new generation 2-10 years away. This is unavoidable. Got to have the right balance of new green energy and shutting down old generation plants
Imagine if everyone just refused to pay? The whole country just says no to being ripped off! There's millions of us, yet we keep following unjust rules and paying unfair bills
and there is absolutely no need for it. We should have the world's cheapest energy but the globalists are determined to screw over the little guy pushing their climate change narrative that is making them rich. It always was about $$ not the planet. and the media defends them
Not if I kill myself
9NewsAdel Why There is no need other than to drive the poor and middle class in to the ground
But why
when will people learn. open the damn coal mines
