Queensland Labor plans to create a new publicly owned energy retailer if re-elected, in a move aimed at providing "greater competition" and "choice".
It is understood the proposed new publicly owned energy retailer "will operate statewide" and "compete with Ergon in regional Queensland". Labor said the plan would mean regional Queenslanders ""have choice when it comes to selecting an energy provider and more options for participating in solar and community battery pricing models".
