Regional Queensland homeowners could be paid more for the solar energy they feed into the grid from July, under a proposal from the state regulator.
The Queensland government is being urged to rule out charging homeowners for feeding electricity from rooftop solar panels back into the grid.
However, in the south-east tariffs are set by retailers, with Solar Citizens saying that in many cases they pay homeowners “a pittance”. “In NSW network companies have proposals sitting with the Australian Energy Regulator to charge solar owners for putting cheap solar energy into the grid during the middle of the day.
The Australian Energy Regulator is also considering allowing electricity retailers in the south-east to hike annual residential power bills by $321 to $1941 and small business bills by $669 to $4115 from next financial year.
