On 1 July 2012, the Government released generic information on the impact of the carbon price on household electricity bills. The information will be contained in an insert that is given to electricity retailers to be enclosed in billing envelopes sent to households between 1 July 2012 and 31 December 2012. Regulatory options to disseminate information were also considered and these are outlined in the Regulation Impact Statement. An Adobe Portable Document Format (PDF) file will be provided to households receiving electronic electricity bills. A Regulation Impact Statement was prepared by the Department of Climate Change and Energy Efficiency and assessed as adequate by the Office of Best Practice Regulation.
