The South Australian government is facing increasing criticism over an Origin Energy electricity offer that was promoted to pensioners in the lead-up to the state election, after the company introduced a new pricing structure for the 2026/2027 financial year.
Pensioner Pauline Fowles said she received a letter from the state government before the March election, promoting potential energy savings with Origin Energy.
The pensioner took up the offer, switching from her long-term provider AGL, but last month she received a new Origin pricing structure that showed the daily supply charge will increase by 53 cents.
