Electricity companies are raising consumer prices by as much as 25 per cent. Red Energy explained that prices must be raised because of the higher wholesale cost of electricity and the renewable energy certificates. In Victoria, where the Hazelwood power station will be closed in March 2017, EnergyAustralia and AGL increased electricity tariffs by $A135 and $A132 on average respectively for 2017.
