Remember it is the Future ...According to the One-Nutters
And so is this...LINKA hidden “Sun tax” slugging Aussies who have made the switch to solar has been slammed by energy advocates as “madness” and a “rip-off”, accusing energy companies of “wanting to charge people” making energy from sunlight.
Distributors in some Australian states have moved in the sneaky tariff, known colloquially as a Sun or solar tax, as households begin to embrace the shift to renewables in the hopes of power bill relief.
But the new measures will result in those households being slugged for sending the solar energy they generate back to the electricity grid during peak times – something providers hope will encourage households to store their self-generated power and use it, rather than hoping for a credit if it is exported back to the grid.
Renewable energy advocate Heidi Lee Douglas has been highly critical of the plan, saying it was “not a bright idea” to penalize people for “taking control of their power bills with cheaper, cleaner solar” during a cost of living crisis.
