Small electricity retailers will go out of business in Victoria, and savvy customers who have found the cheapest deals will be forced to pay more, if the Andrews government follows through on its promised cheaper deal, according to an industry report.John Shakespeare
Dr Emerson said in his report on the Victorian default offer that the government’s intervention in the electricity market would have “adverse consequences” for competition and price-sensitive customers, including customers who were economically vulnerable.“By eliminating the ability of electricity retailers to achieve a basic level of profit, the VDO will drive some retailers out of the market and prevent others from entering it in the future,” Dr Emerson wrote.
Former Gillard government minister Craig Emerson has advised the Andrews government to drop it electricity default offer.Dr Emerson, a former minister for trade and small business who now works as an economic consultant, recommended Victoria abandon its plan and instead adopt the Morrison government’s default offer, which is due to kick in on July 1.
Who would listen to this economics nada from yesteryear😆😅
Neither the federal nor the state default program locks in any real savings for consumers. Daily connection charges should be capped to 60 cents and GST should be abolished for ppl n fixed incomes. A review of net metering for solar owners is mandatory to stop the energy theft.
It’s a promised plan not promised cheaper prices. Nothing to see here move along please. 👍
Put out of business companies that generate no power but just bill you with a margin added! So what’s wrong with that? The company that generates power must be able to sell it cheaper then!
Just who would read this X Rudd desperado's read😂
Victoria is about to become another Sth Australia factory closures high unemployment
LOL. An industry which has been existed to add zero value to the consumer, is complaining that forcing a reasonable price for utilities will put them out of business. Perhaps they are in the wrong business.
Surprise - power companies on the verge of either collapse or massive fight back. Government must either take back full control of power supply or let private enterprise continue to charge market rate for power
Venezuala here we come!
