Electricity isn't just expensive

[Lilith7]

Perhaps once the costs of solar drops enough, groups of ordinary people might get together & raise enought to finance solar for their group, in a similar way to the way in which co operatives work, if its possible.

That type of thing is being trialled internationally including in Western Australia: https://www.westernpower.com.au/our-ener...y-storage/

A major advantage in doing this type of community enterprise is that upfront costs for items such as battery storage can be shared thereby becoming more accessible to the less well off.

That does look like quite a good idea.

I rather like that campaign policy that suggested solar installation subsidies would be part of their targeted wishlist. Now, I wonder which party that was...

It'll be ACT for sure....



Incidentally the political subject next Monday on Te Ao with  Moana is David Seymour, which should be extremely interesting.
