Premier Annastacia Palaszczuk<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

March 24, 2021<\/strong><\/p>\n

The State Government says power prices for regional Queensland households look set to drop from July 1.<\/p>\n

On Wednesday, the Queensland Competition Authority (QCA) published its draft determination for regulated retail electricity prices for 2021-22.<\/p>\n

Premier Annastacia Palaszczuk said it would be the biggest cut for households in more than a decade.<\/p>\n

\u201cFor the fourth year in a row, the QCA has flagged that 2021-22 regional electricity prices are set to fall,\u201d the Premier said.<\/p>\n

\u201cTypical regional households are set to see their biggest cut in more than a decade – saving 8.6 per cent or $119, and small businesses are on track to save 5 per cent or $109 per year.”<\/strong><\/p>\n

The draft determination is still subject to consultation and a final decision by the QCA.<\/p>\n

Energy Minister Mick de Brenni said the QCA noted that predicted price drops were largely due to cheaper and cleaner energy generation from renewable sources.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
