VIC:Hazelwood closure pushes prices up 10pc

MELBOURNE, Dec 1 AAP - The upcoming closure of Australia's cheapest electricity
generator has led AGL to push power prices up 10 per cent in Victoria, more than doubled
what was predicted.
When the Hazelwood coal mine and power station's upcoming closure was announced a
month ago, Premier Daniel Andrews predicted power prices would rise about four per cent.
But AGL has announced that due to increases in the wholesale energy price, residential
customers on standing offers will see their bills jump 9.9 per cent in 2017.
