Anyone see this story in the Sydney Daily Telegraph yesterday, so if you use more than average power in peak demand, you will be paying a massive premium for the privledge? (i'm frantically checking over our previous bills now!) This applies to all states i gather?
"The Australian Energy Markets Commission (AEMC) says the way to curb future increases in peak demand is to give households “signals” to change power use" "To beat the new electricity changes some households may have to surrender control of their aircon to their power provider" "Those who can’t afford that investment — or spiralling running costs — may have to flee to more community “cooling centres” such as libraries" (with thanks to the Daily Telegraph) http://www.news.com.au/finance/money...-1227195669476 cheer's, Maka
