HOW TO SAVE ON YOUR ELECTRICITY

Media Releases, News
The State’s peak business organisation, the NSW Business Chamber, has launched its free ‘NSW Business Energy Comparison’ tool. Advocating for affordable and reliable energy has been a priority of the Chamber for a long time, aiming to reduce excessive network costs and concentration of wholesale and retail markets. “What we were surprised to find, was the complexity of quotes the companies have been given. Making it almost impossible to work out whether you’re on the best deal,” said Kellon Beard, Regional Manager Mid North Coast NSW Business Chamber.
