When I find out if I'm moving or staying put, I am definately changing my electricity provider to someone a little cheaper. I received a letter from AGL informing me of yet another price rise, including an increase on the service charge. I'm now paying $91.52 (incl. GST) just to have electricity connected, before usage is even measured.
"Factors influencing this price change include increased charges for the use of the distribution network (poles and wires) and the review of our prices which includes the cost of providing electricity in NSW."
I'm sorry Mr Electricity Provider, but why are we paying a service charge when you're just going to keep raising the prices based on consumption every quarter? What the hell is the point of that extra charge if you're going to keep upping the cost based on consumption anyway? How is the average joe expected to be able to afford to live?
What a rort.
