While there has been much said about the impacts of rising electricity costs over recent years, many people find it difficult to talk about it and are often not even consulted.

So the University of SA, Uniting Communities and SACOSS have asked some lower income energy consumers to show what rising energy costs looks like to them. This study was conducted using a PhotoVoice technique in which a dozen people were loaned cameras and invited to capture the impact of energy costs in their lives, and what they want to say to decision makers.
