Victoria consults on lower prices for embedded network customers
The Victorian Government has opened consultation on proposed pricing reforms for embedded networks, following its announcement that it intends to require lower energy prices for households and small businesses in those networks.

KEY DATE: Consultation closes at 11:59 pm on Thursday 2 July…
