So far, we’ve all felt it. Energy bills are getting more and more expensive by the month as world powers wreak havoc on coal and gas prices. Long gone are the relatively low wholesale prices we had during the pandemic, more than doubling between 2021 and 2022.
And if that paragraph wasn’t bleak enough for you, the CEO of one of the country’s largest energy retailers recently warned that prices are likely to rise another 35 percent next year.
It’s not a great prognosis for Australians who are already struggling with rising expenses for just about everything else, including food prices, insurance and mortgages.

But, as always, there are a few tricks you can try when it comes to lowering the cost of your energy bill, which we detail in this week’s episode of It all adds up.
This includes Jess’ in-depth research on how to install solar panels in your home practically and affordably (spoiler alert: it’s complicated) and our regular plea for listeners to go and claim the various government rebates available for energy bills.
We also detail why Queens bohemian rhapsody is a bad song to sing in the bathroom, and Jess introduces us to the money-saving teachings of a non-French philosopher.
