Daily Tel Power Price Crisis Crusade

The Daily Telegraph has kicked off a renewed Power Price Rise crusade on behalf of it's readers, attempting to force the Keneally Government to wake up to the growing crisis with customers energy bills on the rise.

The Daily Tel's team of John Rolfe and Joe Hildebrand are asking their readers to download and email (premier@nsw.gov.au) this letter (PDF file - CLICK HERE TO DOWNLOAD) to the New South Wales Premier.

Electricity prices have increased 10% on 1st July 2010, with further rises of 15% in 2011 and 20% in 2012 already scheduled.

This is the sort of campaign the State needs.  We're seeing massive price increases in New South Wales and customers are being hit where it hurts the most, in their wallets.

There's been a huge surge in consumer awareness over the past 6 weeks as power bills have landed on customers door mats, but this is just the tip of the iceberg. There are 3 million homes and businesses in New South Wales who could all save money by simply switching to a cheaper retailer.

The urge is for everyone to pull out their electricity bills and take action now!
