Energy sector must use new tech to ensure the vulnerable aren't left behind

With the arrival of energy optimisation technologies, governments and industry must find a way to deliver efficient energy to everyone

A Choice survey revealed last year that electricity bills have become the biggest worry for Australian households. According to the report, more than 80% of Australians are concerned with rising costs, with South Australians and West Australians most concerned about the price of their energy.

The report followed the March 2017 announcement of an ACCC inquiry into retail electricity pricing, as directed by treasurer Scott Morrison. The report is due out in June 2018.
