While rising network charges were expected to place upward pressure on bills, falling wholesale electricity costs — helped by increased wind and battery generation — appear to have outweighed them in most regions this year.
Flat-rate residential DMO prices are set to fall between 3.4% and 7.2% across NSW and South East Queensland, while South Australia is the only region facing a small increase of 1.4%.
Not at all the same, not to mention I highly doubt that ever happened.
Almost 50% of your power bill is to pay for infrastructure. What requires enormous amounts of new infrastructure, in the trillions of dollars region? “Renewables”. Adding “renewables” to the grid adds incredible amounts of costs to the grid, meaning prices go up. It’s not rocket science. We’ve even had power company CEO’s tell us this.

right wingers really went full blown mental during covid
Nuclear power? Trillions? Are you talking about fusion?
That’s not “right wingers”, that’s conspiracy theorists.
The transmission costs for “renewables” in Australia are in the trillions. Nuclear uses the existing infrastructure for transmission.
The line between right-wingers and conspiracy theorists during covid was pretty much the same.
Is it? Someone should tell South Australia

Where did you get trillions from?
—- No. Current official estimates for Australia’s renewable energy transmission costs are in the tens of billions, not trillions.
AEMO’s Draft 2026 Integrated System Plan (ISP) projects around $9 billion for new transmission infrastructure by 2050, representing about 7% of total capital costs. The total system overhaul (including generation, storage, and transmission) is estimated at $128 billion, with transmission making up a small fraction of that.
While transmission project costs have risen sharply—25–55% for overhead lines and 10–35% for substations since 2024—these increases are still measured in billions, not trillions. Some critics argue costs are higher than initial estimates, but no authoritative source supports a trillion-dollar figure.
