Aurora Energy released its 2025-26 Annual Report on October 28, 2026, highlighting its third consecutive year of strong operational and financial performance. CEO Nigel Clark stated the company achieved strong financial returns and maintained high levels of customer service.

The report noted that Aurora Energy’s regulated electricity prices remain among the lowest in the country. Despite the conclusion of federal and state energy rebates, the company continued to support customers experiencing financial hardship. During the 2025-26 financial year, Aurora Energy waived $355,000 in outstanding customer debt for eligible Your Energy Support (YES) customers. In partnership with the Tasmanian Government, funding for the Energy Hardship Fund was doubled to $700,000.

Earlier in the year, on June 25, 2026, the independent Tasmanian Economic Regulator approved an average 4.23 per cent increase to Aurora Energy’s regulated standing offer prices for residential and small business customers, effective from July 1, 2026. This increase was primarily driven by an uplift in network prices, offset by a reduction in renewable energy costs, according to Aurora Energy. Pulse Tasmania reported on June 25, 2026, that a typical household on the most common tariff, using 7,254kWh a year, would pay about $108 more annually due to this increase.

The Regulator, Joe Dimasi, stated on June 25, 2026, that the main driver for the increase was higher network costs approved for TasNetworks. He also noted that wholesale electricity costs had risen slightly, but these were offset by lower Renewable Energy Target costs.

Tasmanian Treasurer Eric Abetz said on June 25, 2026, that the determination reflected cost pressures across Australia’s energy system, including higher network costs, wholesale electricity market volatility, and inflationary pressures. He encouraged Tasmanians to shop around for better deals, noting that the regulated standing offer is a price ceiling.

Aurora Energy’s Annual Report also detailed that over 95 per cent of its residential and small business customers are now connected to an advanced meter, enabling more than 130,000 customers to use the aurora+ app. aurora+ customers benefited from 2.87 million hours of free electricity through Power Hours, equivalent to $943,000 in savings during the 2025-26 year.

Solar customers saw an increase in the minimum feed-in tariff to 9.276c/kWh from July 1, 2026, primarily due to higher loss factors, slightly higher wholesale electricity costs, and higher national electricity market participation costs for 2026-27, Aurora Energy stated.
