Electricity Prices To Rise Over 20% From July 1

AUSTRALIA

The energy regulator has announced that electricity prices are to rise by over 20% from July 1, according to the Australian. The Default Market Offer (DMO) will be allowed to rise between 19.5% and 23.7%, which is slightly higher than the estimate made in March. Victoria will see the highest rise and South Australia the lowest.
