Ranking of Issues
We are now going to ask you to rate the importance of a series of issues that are grouped into five sets. The AEMC appreciates this is not an exhaustive list and you will have the opportunity to raise any other issues that are important to you at the end of the survey.
|
| |
|
|
The first set of issues relates to the impact of rising electricity prices. Where 0 is not at all important, 5 is fairly important and 10 is extremely important, how important do you think it is for consumers that the following issues be discussed at the forum?
|
|
|
|
|
The second set of issues relates to retail gas. Where 0 is not at all important, 5 is fairly important and 10 is extremely important, how important do you think it is for consumers that the following issues be discussed at the forum?
|
|
|
|
|
The third set of issues relates to improving consumer engagement. Where 0 is not at all important, 5 is fairly important and 10 is extremely important, how important do you think it is for consumers that the following issues be discussed at the forum?
|
|

|
The fourth set of issues relates to how well the current regulatory arrangements will respond to changes in the market. Where 0 is not at all important, 5 is fairly important and 10 is extremely important, how important do you think it is for consumers that the following issues be discussed at the forum?
|
|

And finally, the fifth set of issues relates to ensuring the current consumer energy sector consumer protections are adequate.

Where 0 is not at all relevant, 5 is fairly relevant and 10 is extremely relevant, to what extent do you think these priorities are still relevant for market development?
