The suppliers excuse for the large increase is because now we have more off peak hours, more like we are being punished for putting solar panels up.
Also those of us with medical problems and are forced to stay at home more then we like to, will have on choice but to pay peak prices.
We are paying for year of neglect buy both government parties and privatization .
