ETS to cause Power Bills too Sky Rocket

[Guest]

New report shows ETS will cause power bills too skyrocket.

And government compensation will go nowhere near compensating housholds for electricity and the price hikes on food and necessities of life imho if this independent report is correct.

..Power bills to rise by up to 64pc in NSW From: AAP March 18, 2010 10:

ELECTRICITY bills in NSW will soar by up to 64 per cent over the next three years, with the blame laid squarely on the Federal Government's proposed emissions trading scheme.
The state's Independent Pricing and Regulatory Tribunal confirmed the increases in Sydney today.

They are even higher than those first proposed by the tribunal in December.

They will send average electricity bills rocketing by between $577 and $918 a year by 2013.

They come on top of already significant increases last July.

The Federal Government's ETS, twice rejected by the Senate, is behind a big chunk of the latest increases, IPART said.

Rising network costs have also contributed.

IPART confirmed Energy Australia bills will rise 60 per cent, adding $754 to a typical household customer's bill by 2013.

Integral Energy and Country Energy bills will rise 46 per cent and 64 per cent respectively in the same period, adding $577 and $918 to typical customers' bills.

But all the increases will be lower if the ETS is scrapped, IPART said.

I noticed you left this little tid bit of info off you cut and paste.

"Over the three years to June 2013, if the ETS is not introduced, average prices will increase by a cumulative total of 20 per cent for Integral Energy, 36 per cent for EnergyAustralia, and 42 per cent for Country Energy, IPART said.

But whatever happens, average prices will increase by seven per cent from July this year for Integral Energy customers, 10 per cent for EnergyAustralia customers and 13 per cent for Country Energy customers.

The increases will apply to everyone on standard tariffs - said to be about 67 per cent of NSW household customers"

So average prices have already risen even without an ETS and will continue to rise with or without an ETS - and neither you nor IPART have not stated how much the ETS will contribute to that rise.

So I'll ask you, how much will the ETS contribute to that rise in prices that were going to happen anyway rcptn?

Chook.

Sorry about that I didn't mean to cut the last part of the article. Must have happened when I removed the sidebar from the article.

In answer too your question I quote from the article

So you don't know the answer to my question! That's ok, I never expected you to know the answer, I just wanted to see if you would admit to not knowing. Which of course you didn't, you just tried to make out you did by re-quoting what you had already posted.

That's your biggest problem rcptn. You make out like you know what you are posting about when in fact you have no idea. And when pressed or questioned you simply rehash what you've already posted with no clarifaction, no detail, no specifics.

All you've stated is that IPART said a "big chunk" can be attributed to the ETS, my question to you was how much is that "big chunk" and all you've done is say "it's a big chunk".

Can you see why I (and others) get frustrated with you when you try and get all preachy about these types of issues? Cutting and pasting from one blog to another takes minimal effort and provides zero insight into the actual topics. Perhaps if you actually read and learnt about what you post it would make debating with you so much more worthwhile.

Chook.

At least Obama had the balls to say in the leadup to his election that electricity prices will necessarily skyrocket. I don't think his mate Rudd will risk telling us the truth before bringing in an ETS or CPRS or whatever Rudd wants to call it today.
