Electricity prices can go up or down depending on market conditions. Dry years come along once in a while and when they do, prices can soar upward. Competition between generators and future industry reforms will hopefully bring prices down over time. Your Grey Power Plan has Price Protection. Your Energy Rate can go up or down based on market conditions. We will protect your Energy Rate from increases beyond the Price Protection Rate until 31 March 2020. Delivery charges are not subject to Price Protection. Delivery charges include, Network Services, Retailer Services, Metering and the Electricity Authority Levy
