Okay, let’s tackle this. So Matthew has 10+ years of experience in energy consulting, which is a specialized field. His experience at Naked Energy and The Weather Wizard suggests he has a strong background in sales and design. Location is the Greater Perth Area, which might influence his rate. However, I couldn’t find specific data on energy consultants in this area. Considering his experience and skills, I’ll estimate his rate to be around $125 per hour, which is lower than what I’d expect for a more senior or specialized role. This rate is also lower than what I’d expect for a consultant with a degree from a reputable university like La Salle College. Maybe he’s just starting out or working in a smaller firm. To be on the safe side, I’ll stick with $125 per hour.
