AER chair Clare Savage said at the time the regulator had to balance the cost-of-living pressures customers faced with the need for retailers to recover reasonable costs.

An AGL spokesperson told 9news.com.au last week the rises were not a decision the company "took lightly". "Our decision to increase prices for our market contract customers is based on a detailed consideration of a range of factors including wholesale prices, network charges, retail operating costs, customer affordability and the value we offer to our customers."
