Western Australian electricity customers will be better off under national energy reforms to be introduced by the WA Government.

Energy Networks Association Chief Executive Officer John Bradley welcomed the update by Treasurer and Minister for Energy Mike Nahan to the COAG Energy Council meeting in Perth.

“The WA Government is taking the right steps to reform Western Australia’s challenging electricity market for households and businesses,” Mr Bradley said.

“As the engine room of the Australian economy, WA urgently needs a modern electricity market and regulation to unlock competition and put downward pressure on prices.”
