For a big player in #Australia's energy #market, #AGL has a lot of questionable, dodgy #business practices to screw their #customers.
"Under a demand tariff, consumers are charged according to their single greatest half-hourly period of electricity use from the grid across an entire month."
AGL also drained a #VPP participant's battery at times, forcing him to buy power from the grid at peak prices.
😡 😡 😡
