'Finkel Review' one thing which really stood out for us!
From the report we see that the actual demand 'dropped off' since about 2005/6 which is around the time of solar starting to get a really big foot hold on peoples roof structures?
So in my view, it stands to reason why 10 plus years later the big energy providers and the governments dont want to 'help' consumers put more solar and god helps us battery storage in either.
One of them doesn't make a profit from the free power people can get and the other doesn't get tax revenue from GST on the power either.
*** Gets worse too- look for my article on demand side management payments and see the true cost to you! The Mojo effect in the report shows people turning off power for reward but just how long do you go without power in reality?
