Victorian manufacturers and schools will be able to buy renewable energy directly from the resurrected State Electricity Commission.
Victorian manufacturers, schools and hospitals will be able to buy renewable energy directly from the Allan government under plans for the State Electricity Commission to sell both retail and wholesale power.
Allan will on Thursday reveal that government schools, hospitals and services housed in standalone buildings would be among its first customers. This would be followed by heavy industrial users such as manufacturers who purchase large amounts of energy under contract. “One of the big promises was lower prices for customers and simply selling your production on the wholesale market is no guarantee customers will get the gains of that,” he said in February.
“I can’t see anything that says the SEC is going to do something that the private sector wouldn’t have done,” he said.
