The Powercor network is made up of 823,000 residential customers, approximately 88% of the network's customers. Network charges make up 35% of the Victorian default offer electricity bill for an average Powercor residential customer.
Our residential customers energy needs vary greatly depending on their location, financial state and their energy journey, but many have expressed a strong desire for simplicity, stability and flexibility, as well as more information and education.
What you told us
Reliability, safety and resilience
To stay connected with uninterrupted and safe electricity supply that can withstand extreme weather.
You want us to maintain a reliable electricity supply with no deterioration of services.
You expect us to work with you to better prepare for extreme weather events, as well as minimise the impact of extreme weather events
You want us to improve how we support you during emergencies
Affordability and equity
Everyone to have access to the electricity supply they value, regardless of where they live or work.
You want simple and clear tools to help you manage your electricity bill
You want stronger safeguards to assist those experiencing (or at risk of) vulnerable circumstances
You want improved service levels for rural and regional customers to ensure they aren't left behind
Energy transition
To shift towards more sustainable energy sources and practices for a cleaner future.
You want greater energy supply independence.
You expect us to lower carbon emissions from the provision of your electricity supply.
You want network capacity to support electric vehicle demand.
Our operating environment
What we're proposing
We're delivering what customers want by investing $3.3 billion in our network from 2026 to 2031. For residents, this will mean an average $2 (or 0.1%) increase in their yearly bill..
Developing our depots to maintain customer response times and support increasing works programs
Introducing optional time of use tariffs to encourage consumption away from peak periods
New flexible export products to unlock additional solar through smarter solutions (rather than building more network)
Using aerial inspections to better manage bushfire and compliance risks from vegetation clearances
Regional and rural upgrades to support community growth and more equitable opportunities to participate in the energy transition
Customer package outlining programs to support energy literacy and provide support to customers experiencing vulnerability
How to get involved
You're invited to have your say on our draft proposal, before we submit the final plan to the Australian Energy Regulator for approval in January 2025. There are a few ways to get involved depending on your time and preferences.
