Description

Australian Capital Territory households face a 10% increase in average annual electricity bills, reaching $2,245. Small businesses see a 7% rise to $5,695. Despite this, significant savings are possible through market competition. Only 2% pay more than the governments reference price, with a loyalty penalty for long-term customers. Origin offers the lowest median bills, while EnergyAustralia shows the biggest year-on-year growth. The market remains competitive and affordable for most, with average-income households spending 1.5% of income on electricity.
