AGL to return security deposits to South Australian consumers

Monday, June 1st, 2009

In response to large numbers of complaints from consumers, the Energy Industry Ombudsman of South Australia and the Essential Services Commission of South Australia have pressured AGL to change its security deposit policy and to return all security deposits collected from its customers in South Australia. AGL has also agreed not to collect security deposits in future.

In this day and age the collection of security deposits seems an archaic policy that is not, as far as I am aware, practised in any other industry.

Switchwise rolls out nationally

Tuesday, May 26th, 2009

We are pleased to announce that residents of New South Wales, Queensland, South Australia and the Australian Capital Territory are now able to use Switchwise to compare electricity and gas prices and plans offered by all suppliers operating in those markets.

Unfortunately, if you live in Western Australia, Tasmania or the Northern Territory you do not have a choice of energy supplier as your respective Governments have not introduced retail energy competition. However, you can still use Switchwise to compare the range of plans and prices on offer from your local energy retailer.
