CANBERRA – Prime Minister Anthony Albanese today declined to reaffirm his government’s promise of lower household energy prices, fueling accusations he lacks confidence in his own energy policy. When pressed for specifics on when and by how much bills would fall, the Prime Minister offered no direct answer.
The exchange occurred as scrutiny mounts over the government’s emissions reduction strategy and its impact on energy costs. Power prices have risen by $1,300 as Albanese promised a $275 decrease.
Energy Minister Chris Bowen further distanced the government from specific price reduction targets, stating that advice from the Climate Change Authority projecting a 20 per cent reduction – or $1,000 annually – within the decade “was not a political commitment.”
Bowen’s statement comes after the Australian Energy Market Operator (AEMO) testified before a Senate inquiry last year that it could not guarantee lower prices with increased reliance on renewable energy sources. The government is currently basing its emissions policy on AEMO’s advice, despite ministers repeatedly refusing to endorse its projections regarding power prices.
Critics allege the government is deliberately avoiding transparency regarding the potential costs of its energy transition plan. They argue that a lack of concrete figures demonstrates a lack of faith in the policy’s effectiveness. As Prime Minister Albanese travels overseas, opponents claim Australians will ultimately bear the financial burden of a flawed energy strategy.

Minister Bowen’s comments came after the Australian Energy market Operator (AEMO) testified before a Senate inquiry last year, stating it could not guarantee lower prices with increased renewable energy adoption. The government is currently basing its emissions policy on AEMO’s advice, despite multiple ministers refusing to publicly support the $1,000 savings claim.
Australians have already seen power prices increase by $1,300, despite a prior promise of a $275 reduction from Prime Minister Albanese.

When pressed for specifics on when and by how much bills would fall, the Prime Minister offered no direct answer.
The exchange occurred as scrutiny mounts over the government’s emissions reduction strategy and its impact on energy costs. Previously, the government suggested a potential 20 per cent reduction in household energy prices within the decade, equating to $1,000 annually.
Energy Minister Chris Bowen subsequently characterized this projection, originating from advice by the Climate Change Authority, as “not a political commitment.” This followed testimony last year to a senate inquiry from the Australian Energy Market Operator (AEMO) stating it could not guarantee lower prices with increased renewable energy adoption.
Critics point out the government is basing its emissions policy on the AEMO’s advice, yet ministers continue to avoid endorsing claims of reduced power prices. Data indicates household power bills have risen by $1,300, contrary to an earlier government promise of a $275 decrease.
Opponents argue the government’s reluctance to provide concrete cost projections for its plan demonstrates a lack of faith in its efficacy. The Prime Minister is currently overseas while Australians face rising energy costs.

Australians have already seen power prices increase by $1,300, despite a previous promise of a $275 reduction from Prime Minister Albanese. This discrepancy raises concerns about the government’s transparency and the potential costs associated with its energy transition plan.
Critics argue that the Prime Minister’s reluctance to detail the financial implications of the plan demonstrates a lack of confidence in its success. As Prime Minister Albanese travels overseas, questions remain about who will bear the financial burden of the energy policy and whether Australians will see the promised relief on their power bills.
