Fair charges, fair returns

To meet this outcome

We must be an efficient company, quick to address challenges of affordability, make long-term prudent investment choices and embrace development of markets that benefit our customers. To keep investing for our customers, we need to raise money at competitive rates and pay a fair return to our investors.

Since privatisation, our customers have had the lowest percentage increase in average household bills of any company; our bills have increased just 10 per cent, compared to an industry average of 46 per cent. At PR14, our Business Plan for 2015—2020, our bills fell by more than twice the industry average.
