A new ruling by the Australian Energy commission is being criticized by Solar Citizens, an organisation responsible for protecting solar panelled households.
The new ruling known as “ the sun tax” will see networks now given the power to charge solar households for exporting clean energy.
National director Ellen Roberts says, “the decision to penalise households for sharing clean solar energy is deeply disappointing. Solar homes and businesses aren’t just driving down electricity bills but also play a major rule in slashing Australia’s emissions.”
The news comes as shocking international scientific reports call for immediate climate change action.
