Summary
Power prices could fall by up to 10 per cent for some households and businesses from July 1. It's part of a shake-up of something called the Default Market Offer which puts a price cap on what energy retailers can charge. And another program due to start on the first of July is the Solar Sharer Scheme which will give some parts of the country three hours of free power during the day.
