Queenslanders have the opportunity to tell the state’s electricity networks about their energy needs and wants in the 2024 Queensland Household Energy Survey.
Energy Queensland CEO Peter Scott said more residential customers are being encouraged to share their insights in the long-running survey which is a joint initiative of Energex, Ergon Energy Network and Powerlink Queensland.
“Every customer’s input into the Queensland Household Energy Survey matters and 4,200 households participated last year,” he said.
“The more we understand about what’s happening on the home front, the clearer picture we have of what the network of the future needs to cater for.
“The energy landscape has changed dramatically since the first survey in 2009 when rooftop solar was only just taking off in Queensland and electric vehicles were a novelty.
“Last year’s survey results reflected the community’s focus on cost of living - 53% of respondents were concerned about their ability to pay their power bills, 75% were looking to reduce their electricity use and 72% of households with solar were using it to cut costs.
“Energy affordability has always been a top priority for us and all the feedback from our customers reinforces that approach.”
The online Queensland Household Energy Survey is open from now until Sunday April 21.
