The Consumer Advocacy Council wants electricity retailers to make power bills as simple as possible, in an effort to help save consumers money.  

It's asking companies to inform customers if there's a cheaper plan available and how much they'd save by switching. 

Chair Deborah Hart told Mike Hosking that there needs to be more done to make electricity more competitive, and that this initiative would do so.  

She said it would place much more power in the hands of consumers.
