Cheering I got my power bill today and I’m paying 500 less then my last power bill... dogs were not reading my meter and guessing my bills from a previous tenant... from 1150 to 650.. add another light? It’s a good start to the week
It's the biggest joke in Australia at the moment the whole power industry isn't it. When I moved in to this shed that I rent at as a mechanical workshop I was paying $320 per quarter and half of that was just the fee's approx 4 years ago.. This quarter my bill is $1,000+ I think the fella I go halves with might have a grow room out the back haha.

I run the air con 24/7 during summer at 24 degrees. Is it me or are our QLD summers getting hotter and our winters getting cooler every year ?
Funny you say that was talking to a few lads at work today how winter hasn't been as cold as normal in our state...weather is all fucked up and changing patterns nowadays

Energy companies are on every bodies shitlist I think... they will bleed you dry if they get the chance... I swear they charge you more in summer too

My bill in summer was 350 that's with a 12 person spa running and 2 beer fridges outside and split system running in the house all day long...this is why I say to the missus now we have a spare room...maybe I should set up a 2 plant 1000wt gavita grow :)

I think they have screwed up with all the Solar intensives over the years, there are that many people out there with solar these days that the power companies have to increase their prices dramatically so anyone without solar gets royally screwed in the arse, and anyone with solar just gets a mild deduction. My parents got it back in 2010 I think and they are 3 grand in the black on their power bill. Meh in 3 months hopefully my shed will be off grid completely :)
Could be worse though, we could have a trump as our prime minister lol
