I will believe it when I see it.

Oh it's already there . . . for them. They're not passing on the savings to consumers, these are wholesale savings.

The rapid expansion of renewables is also reshaping electricity prices. Average wholesale power prices across the NEM fell 48% year-on-year in the December quarter to A$68 per megawatt hour, among the lowest levels in the world. Across the full year, wholesale prices averaged A$108/MWh, an 18% fall compared with 2024.
