Have you ever wondered why your energy bills keep going up when the government promised they would go down? 

A large portion of your energy bills goes toward paying for network costs, including transmission and distribution, specifically, the poles and wires that carry electricity across the grid.

For more information on how AEMO is intentionally prioritising pro-renewable energy projects for their future roadmap, watch the video on the below link:
