Strangely they haven't chosen coal as their power choice.

"A Queensland sugar cane growing family has decided to install enough solar energy to quit the grid entirely, in a bid to beat soaring electricity prices.
The Bundaberg family says it will build a ground-mounted solar power system that will take its 80 hectare farm completely off the grid of state government-owned electricity network Ergon Energy.
“This is a direct response to the soaring power prices which have been crippling farmers like us for years now,” said Kelvin Griffin, who runs the farm with his wife Helen and adult children.
“If we used Ergon’s power for irrigation, if we could afford it, we would be putting at least $40,000 to $50,000 a year into this power giant’s pocket.
“We won’t, and can’t, do that. But we can take our custom away completely and go off-grid."
