Encouraging renewable energy usage for lower costs
To achieve the goal of making energy more affordable, ministers are encouraging energy suppliers to come up with ideas that allow consumers to take advantage of lower costs associated with renewable energy sources.
By utilising electricity during periods of lower demand, consumers can potentially enjoy cost savings on their energy bills.
Exploring innovative initiatives to reduce energy costs
Energy Consumers and Affordability Minister Amanda Solloway announced that the government will explore various initiatives to empower consumers and reduce energy costs.
Some of these initiatives include offering time-specific lower tariffs, implementing smart chargers for electric vehicles with automatic rate adjustments and providing opportunities for consumers to invest in renewable energy, leading to discounts on their electricity bills.
