Average Electricity Costs - QLD
Energex, the main electricity supplier around here, has sent out some info with the latest Electric Bills, showing what the "average" household electric bills are.
And the figures are......:
Winter = $328.00 ($81 of that being for the Hot water)
Spring = $310.00 ($71 of that being for the Hot water)
Mine (Winter) came to $303 with $76 being for hot water
Most of us don't seem to have Gas, so it's just the one bill.
edit:
These bills are 3 monthly, my last one covers 26/5/05 to 26/8/05

Re: Average Electricity Costs - QLD
I have been here since 11th of June and my electricity bill for two months was $300 and I have GAS heater for the hall and the bill for the same period was $ 300.
What piss me off more is petrol when I came here it was $1.00 p/ltr and in the UK 78p per ltr and now $1.30 P/ltr and in the UK 92P. Eventhough the Aus $ is increasing in its value.
But I still love Aus

With petrol, I still haven't paid more than $1.059 every other time has been under $1, In January this year I was paying 81 cents. But back in 1986 it was 35cents.

Re: Average Electricity Costs - QLD
i can concur with the electricity bills. my bill is basically exactly the energex average.
as for petrol, i haven't paid over $1.09. when i came to brisbane at the beginning of 2002 (2nd week in) i paid 67.9c for a litre. so in three and a half years it's gone up aroud 35c, or 50% increase. in comparison, the uk has risen by around 25% in the same period!!!

I'm in Brisvegas, and got my Electricity Bill today
for the period of 20th March - 23rd August = 101.40
as for petrol, today I paid 1.11, but that was in the Valley so I suppose I could have got it cheaper.
