It seems no party is seeing the truth on Opening up the Retail market on electricity retailing.
if not stopped many hundreds of Aurora jobs will go and most not replaced in Tassie. Most simply lost altogether. This might be acceptable in delivering real savings on energy prices, but The Regulator has already set in concrete a massive 52% increase in the retail margins to occur over the next 18 months from July 1 start point.
Yes Retailers will be awarded a lift in operation margin from just under 10% to 15% instead! This is to allow for “ Market Risk” & “Marketing costs”
With fixed and regulated prices for Retailers to work with, the question is “just how are we better off with less jobs and higher power prices already regulated to occur as a result?
Can any party stop the madness and halt the Sale of Aurora to avert the inevitable train-wreck outcome, and stop kidding themselves at our cost.
