Consumers driving change
Consumers and technology are driving change in the energy market in new and exciting ways. Consumers around Australia are increasingly wanting to take control of their energy services, but until recently there was no national body representing them when market and policy decisions were being made.
Energy Consumers Australia works with organisations across the energy market to ensure they recognise and respond to consumer’s needs, interests and concerns over the long term.
