Currently for the 1st 11kwh it is 34.4c/kwh then 38.43 and the daily supply charge is 71.6c/day. these are inclusive of gst. All the suppliers are around the same give or take a cent/kwh. If I did not have the solar feedin, I would be broke. Based on a daily useage of around 20kwh/day over 90 days I would be up for around $650/quarter. To add insult to injury they are talking about more increases. I used to use about 30kwh per day until I got real frugal and changed all the lights over and started turning off appliances that had standby running, like TV's etc. With the Solar I only use around 12 a day in winter months and 8 in summer, so that has been brilliant. I hate to think how a family with 2 adults and 2+ kids would fare.
Your bill is for 61 days so over 90 days it is on par with what we would be paying here, depends on your daily usage though. If you are using around 20kwh per day, well you are similar to here, but if using more than that your rates are obviously lower.
6 years ago here, the rate was around 16.5c/kwh for the first tier and approx. 19c/kwh thereafter. So in effect is has just over doubled.
