Energy prices WTF

Non Eels blog but wtf

It looks like everyone's Electricity bill will rise by at least 40% from 1st of July this year. I've noticed that mine went up from a flat rate of 29c per klw to something like 40c, they stating that wholesale prices are rising & some bs about extreme weather wtf, and infrastructure upgrades.

I've shopped around on the net yesterday and found prices as cheap as 29c to 33c

The daily charges also went up from 70c to 121c, almost double mother fkrs.

Anyways, all the best in finding better deals.

It looks like inflation will go through the roof aswell, as major companies aren't going to absorb these price rises easily.

  Sounds good, if you are building a new home. The initials costs would be substantial I'm sure but I guess you've done the sums and worked out when you would pay it off through savings. How long will you get out of your batteries and panels? Also do you know what happens to the batteries and panels when it comes to desposing of them?

    My panels have a warranty for 20 years before maybe a new technology replaces them. I love Coryns story.$200 for 3 years is amazing . Can you provide some Links or more info on that Coryn

      Our solar only runs our hot water nothing else that was the biggest cost electricity wise so hence why we decided to only use solar for that.

    15% more than a brand new regular code built house.The secret is to not build to big we went from 180 sqm house down to 130 sqm.
    
    Got rid of all the just incase space you never use.
    
    Best thing about these builds is the spec of the house is decorated off of atmospheric information before you do any building overall costs are locked in early.
    
    Even without the panels I believe the power bills would be nie on negligible the houses run so efficiently.

Do you have solar? Is this just in NSW or Australia wide

Thanks Labor and the dopes that cheer for them. Everyone gets solar so they put up the prices to compensate for what people aren't using during the day . Our bills are 2K per quarter , can only imagine what they'll be in 12 months time.

Looking forward to hearing the Labor / Greens stooges tell us how Trumps to blame.
