The average Queensland household power bill could fall by $60 from next year, and small businesses by $100, as Queensland’s publicly-owned energy businesses streamline network costs.
Energy Minister Dr Anthony Lynham says the savings came from Ergon Energy and Energex’s proposed reductions in distribution network charges from 2020.
The savings are in Energy Queensland’s network investment plans for 2020 to 2025 and could reduce household charges by around 10 per cent and small businesses’ by around 11 per cent.
