Business: No electricity
price rise for 18 months
Victorian provider offers
state's first price freeze to protect business electricity
costs
17 February 2011: After 12 months of savage price increases
adding around 30% to an average business's electricity bills, a new
product is set to reassure an increasingly anxious customer
base.
Soaring electricity bills have crippled Victorian businesses
over the last year, with many SMEs recording increases of up to
$3,000.
The new Click Energy product offers an electricity price freeze
that will protect business customers from price rises until July
2012.
"Electricity prices are expected to rise by another 10-15% this
year - adding anything between $500 and $2,000 to a business's
energy bill. Any product that can offer a guaranteed fixed price
and help companies avoid these rising costs will be very popular,"
explained Tim Wolfenden, CEO of independent energy price comparison
site Make it Cheaper (www.makeitcheaper.com.au).
"Now is the time for businesses to switch suppliers and take
advantage of fixed price bills for the next 18 months," he
added.
Business benefits of the new Click Energy offer:
- Fixed
electricity bills for 18 months
- No catch
contract: no penalties for breaking your contract or switching
supplier
- Save up
to $2,000 on your business electricity bill
