If your power bill’s been creeping up in 2025, you’re not the only one. There’s been an extra pressure on households as electricity prices are rising once again, the increase is hitting Aussies hard.

Households and small businesses, from Sydney’s suburbs to the remote corners of Tasmania, are under growing pressure.

This is a result of aging infrastructure, global energy market instability, and extreme weather pushing demand to new levels. Australia’s transition to renewable energy, while promising, is still catching up. These overlapping issues are driving prices higher, leaving Australians looking for real, long-term solutions.

Here’s a breakdown of the stats:

  • In NSW, households on the DMO face increases of 8.3%–9.7%, while small businesses see rises of 7.9%–8.5%.
  • Victoria’s price hikes are smaller but still rising, averaging 1% or about $20 a year, with some areas facing up to $90 increases depending on the provider.
  • In South East Queensland, electricity prices are climbing, with households seeing a 3.7% rise, slightly less for those on controlled load tariffs.
