Every year, energy retailers review their electricity and gas prices and inform customers of changes. These changes usually come into effect around July.
ActewAGL and our predecessors* have been committed to the Canberra region for over 100 years and recognise our responsibility to the people who live here. Like always, we’re dedicated to providing transparent information and expert energy advice, by a team of locals who live here too.
Here’s what you need to know about energy prices, and how we can support you to better manage your bill.
