Network charges are expected to rise from 4.3c/KWh to 9c by 2015 to pay for new capital expenditures, especially in NSW.....
Even if the BCA's report is even half right, it is a nightmare for Australian companies: energy intensive trade exposed industries (that is, most of them) pay about 20% of their costs on electricity, on average.
Those businesses will be wiped out if their foreign competitors in developing nations electricity costs do not also go up.
