AGL cuts electricity prices across NSW, SA and Queensland
AGL has announced it will lower electricity prices across New South Wales, Queensland and South Australia from July 1.
“We understand power prices have been high and that has put pressure on many households," said AGL’s Chief Customer Officer Melissa Reynolds.
“While these price cuts are slight, they’re part of a downward trend that is emerging as more investment in new sources of supply comes into the market.
“Meanwhile, a record number of customers are seeking out better deals and we welcome this clear sign of healthy competition.”
“More than two million customer accounts have changed over to a new deal with AGL since July last year, meaning many customers have already seen their bills come down.”
Ms Reynolds said prices could be driven even lower if policy certainty encourages additional investment in new supply.
“AGL supports the policy certainty that would come with implementation of the National Energy Guarantee.”
The price cuts announced today are set against rising network and green costs.
