The Western Australian government has confirmed a round of expected energy price increase specifically on gas and electricity later this April.
Ongoing increases are expected that by next month, homeowners and business sector will feel a 7.5 percent price increase, and further 10 percent by mid-year.
In support to the energy price trend, gas may also add its current price by up to 7% in July on the same year. It is said that approcimatley an annual average of $215 will be added to local WA residents' electricity bill, and $379 to the business industry.
Thos who are high energy consumers will be slogged an event heftier price rise when this change goes ahead.
This dramatic energy price increase is not common for every nation, and it is constantly receiving negative feedback from the people. The worst thing about this scenario for the residents in WA is they were not given chance to choose among other cheaper energy suppliers, as compared to other Australian states (Victoria, Queensland, New South Wales, South Australia).
Areas that are able to switch to other energy suppliers may less likely experience the burden of energy price hike.
The only thing that WA residents can do is to find ways on how to reduce energy
consumption. Ensuring proper usage of home electronics is a sure way to reduce the impact of this unavoidable incidences.
