I'm still frustrated to see no mention of PV incentivisation in either the Emission Reduction Plan or the Budget. It just makes so much sense in reducing household energy costs and emmissions (by offsetting Huntly coal burn) but I guess the government is too married to the major generators and their public shareholders to move on PV.(20-05-2022, 01:16 AM)joe 90 Wrote: All you gas users will have to fork out $$$ for new electric HWC & cookers & heaters soon & no more LPG so no more BBQs happy with that ? EV charging combined with all industry & commercial buildings now going electric for heating& water heating is going to be huge extra load on power supply . Retail power cos will love it & ramp up prices as no competition from gas anymore .last I heard they were just stopping new connections in 2025, delivery of gas isn't stopping anytime soon. and I believe the small 9kg bottles are excluded so BBQs are absolutely still happening...
