A PROPOSED revival of a State-run power supply in Victoria will continue to drive up the cost of living and put the rergion at risk of living in the dark, said Mallee MP Anne Webster.

Premier Daniel Andrews has promised to bring back the State Electricity Commission as an active energy market participant to build new renewable energy projects should he be re-elected in November.
