The ABC has the intriguing news that Queensland’s ERM Power Retail has won an ACT Government electricity contract worth $16 million, beating out the ACT Government part owned ActewAGL:
Territory and Municipal Services Minister Shane Rattenbury says the decision was made by directorate representatives based on a tender process.
“I imagine ActewAGL are incredibly disappointed to lose this contract but it is a competitive process,” he said.
“The decision to award the contract to ERM, I’ve been briefed by the officials, they offered the best value for money for the Territory and that’s the basis on which they took their decision.”
