Solar Citizens, a community voice for current and future solar owners, condemns the Newman Government’s decision to kill the 8 cent feed-in tariff, which will hurt the 40,000 families and jeapordise the growth of Queensland solar.
Lindsay Soutar, National Director of Solar Citizens, says:
“There are 40,000 homes that are about to lose the already too small financial return they receive from providing clean energy back into the grid.”
“And there are thousands of families in Queensland who want to make the move to solar who will now be forced to negotiate directly with retailers for any sort of financial return.”
“This is incredibly unfair. It is obvious that it will be difficult for individual households to get a good deal from their power company. They simply don’t have the negotiating power. When retailers set the rules, solar owners lose.”
