AGL's electricity price hike to cost households extra $300 a year
Author: Bega District News Date Posted:28 June 2017
AGL's residential customers in NSW will have to pay 16 per cent - or on average $300 - more for electricity in the next financial year
AGL, the third biggest player in the state's energy market, said it will increase electricity prices by 16.1 per cent and gas prices by 9.3 per cent on July 1.
To compare, a St Vincent de Paul Society report shows electricity prices across all retailers rose by an average of 8 per cent last year. AGL's increase is more than double that.
AGL is the first of NSW's energy retailers to announce price hikes. Others are expected to follow in the coming week.
