In our newsletter, we talked about the price rises you’re likely to expect as a result of the carbon tax. While the price is going to rise by up to 18% in some cases, we need to clarify that the carbon price is only partly responsible for the hike in electricity prices. Other factors include things like network cost increases (i.e. for poles and wires) and various other schemes that are in place.
