South Australia’s electricity service needs complete overhaul – work with the community

Dennis Matthews, 1 Jan 17 The latest electricity debacle (The Advertiser 29/12/16) should be a red alert for business leaders in SA.

It is now glaringly obvious that the electricity industry in SA is not up to the task of delivering a safe, secure, affordable and reliable service.

The ridiculously trivial compensation doled out for failure to provide an essential service does nothing to ensure that the failure will not be repeated.

It is time for business leaders to put out-dated ideas behind them, to take off the shackles of 20th century economics and to work with the community in providing energy services that can withstand conditions such as those experienced in the last four months.

Such action is decades overdue.
