It’s time for all of us to take control of our rising power bills and to put energy retailers on notice.
Through our free energy comparison service, we have already achieved over $6.7 million in estimated annual energy savings
1.
And we’re only just getting started!
We know businesses throughout our state are paying too much for energy — 90% of our members have reported that increased energy bills are reducing their business profits
2.
Business deserves better.
The private sector fuels this state, and rising energy costs are limiting the potential for small businesses to employ, expand and excel.
The buck stops with energy retailers.
The Australian Competition and Consumer Commission (ACCC) reported that retailers continue to advertise in a way that causes confusion amongst consumers on what the best deal is for them. From complex price structures with fixed and variable charges to hidden underlying charges.
In fact, we now pay 44% more in real terms for electricity than a decade ago3!
Our free comparison service lets consumers see through the smoke and mirrors. We either deliver the best deal for your business and home, or we validate your current plan as the best deal available.
So will you make the pledge? The more we individually save, the more we collectively benefit in our towns and communities across NSW.
We are finding identified average savings of $1,800
4 for businesses and $400
5 for households.
What would those savings mean to you?
I urge you to take the energy pledge and help put money back into your local community. Together we can make a real difference!
