The Australian Competition and Consumer Commission (ACCC) is reportedly looking into claims by the Greens that AGL, Origin and TRUenergy are using their position to stymie the roll-out of competing wind and solar power projects.
According to a report on The Age published early Wednesday, The ACCC has confirmed to Greens deputy leader Christine Milne it will investigate her claims that the three 'gentailers' may be refusing to enter into power purchase agreements (PPA's) to sell renewable energy sourced electricity generated by competitors.
The Age says Senator Milne wrote to the ACCC last month after related issues were raised with the Senator by unnamed renewable energy companies.
In early February, Senator Milne stated she was seeking meetings to ensure that Origin, TRU Energy and AGL, " negotiate in good faith for reasonable power purchase agreements with major renewable energy developments."
