QUEENSLAND GOVERNMENT HOLDS THE KEY TO CHEAPER POWER, SAYS MASTER ELECTRICIANS

摘要

Master Electricians Australia (MEA) has said the Queensland Government holds the key to cheaper power prices for consumers, by encouraging greater use of off-peak power and freezing the off-peak tariff. MEA chief executive Malcolm Richards said he understood the need for power price rises, but called on the State Government to restructure tariffs to encourage power use outside the times of highest demand - usually in the late afternoon or early evening.
