Electricity is essential to our Queensland lifestyle—it powers our homes, and keeps our businesses and industry running.
Population growth, an ever-increasing demand for energy and the need to expand and upgrade Queensland's electricity infrastructure are among the many factors that impact on the cost of electricity which is set by the independent Queensland Competition Authority.
