These are the charges for my area (SE Qld) that Origin have advised me of:
"Hello Graham.,
Electricity prices are changing heres how this affects you
Electricity prices for consumers and businesses are going up on 1 July 2017. Weve detailed these charges on the next page. So you can see whats changed - weve listed what you pay now compared to the new charges. Well also include this information on your first bill after 1 July.
Why are prices increasing now?
The price for the electricity that we buy on your behalf has increased.
The network (the power lines and poles that deliver energy to your home or business) charges are lower this year, and the Queensland government has reduced these even further, but these reductions dont fully offset the higher electricity generation prices.
This means there is still an increase to the retail price of electricity which youll see on your
electricity bills.
You can still reduce your energy bills
Given the increase, nows the time to review your overall energy usage. To help you, weve pulled together a list of useful energy saving tips and Frequently Asked Questions which youll find on our website at Originenergy.com.au/qldpricechange
Want to chat about the changes?
If youd like to speak to someone about these changes, or any aspect of your energy supply, give us a call on 13 24 61. Were here to help from 7 am to 9 pm weekdays, and 9 am to 5 pm Saturdays."
