We are all paying for Air Conditioning, whether we have it or not
Proposed changes to Australia’s power pricing rules have lumped rooftop solar households in the same basket as homes with big air conditioning units, as the main targets of new tariffs aimed at recovering network revenue to drive down future electricity costs.
Releasing its draft determination on proposals to amend network pricing arrangements, the Australian Energy Market Commission said on Thursday the proposed new rules would enable consumers to make “more informed decisions” about how they used energy services and the technologies they invested in to manage their energy use.
