Australian Competition & Consumer Commission chairman Rod Sims says state governments have contributed to the spike in electricity prices over the last decade. He cites factors such as appeals against the Australian Energy Regulator’s decision to reduce electricity network tariffs, mergers between electricity retailers and generators, and high solar feed-in-tariffs. Sims has also called for measures to curb the market dominance of established electricity retailers, such as making it easier for more companies to enter the market.
