Guten Morgen - Tässle Kaffee ☕️?
Lasst uns die Woche mit gutem Solarpunk - Nachrichten starten!
Australien 🇦🇺 gibt einen Ausblock auf die post-fossile Zukunft erneuerbarer Friedens- und Wohlstandsenergien. Weil es immer mehr Solarstrom gibt, erhalten im „Solar Sharer“-Programm Haushalte erster Bundesstaaten drei Stunden Solarstrom kostenfrei! Bis zu 24 kWh pro Tag.

Actually, I tell a lie, this is how I found out: https://lenergy.com.au/free-daytime-electricity-is-coming-heres-how-it-actually-works/I’m in SA but NSW and SEQld are the other areas so far. The doc I link here has some handy calculations which basically suggest that the more you have the more you can potentially save… that is, if you already have an EV & home charging installation, & a home battery, and appliances that you can program to run during the “free electricity” periods, the more of your total energy bill you can ‘save’. But I’m also hearing that you have to get a new energy plan & part of that is that electricity becomes more expensive at the other times of the day. I don’t this for myself. I ran out of the will to live trying to work my way through the price increases my electricity provider sent me with a 25 page “contract” which they couldn’t say why sent or what changed. 😐

Is anyone else baffled or confused (or feeling gaslit) by the difference between the govt’s announcement of the 3 free hours of electricity under the “Solar Sharer Offer” from 1 July & what they’re hearing from electricity providers?
My electricity rate unit costs went up by 10% but there was no mention of the “Solar Sharer Offer” - I searched all documents sent including the 25 page ?contract? - or what was it? No one knows but I was told I must read it. But not WHY I must read it. By that stage I’d already tried to read or puzzle my way through several pages of goodness knows what… all seemed designed to baffle me. And I can read pretty good. Imagine if you cannot. 😐
When I rang I was told - after pressing 20 buttons confirming I really did want to talk to someone - that I was 69th in the queue. An hour & a quarter later they rang me back & now it gets even more complicated. Apparently electricity providers are only required to have one service that offers the 3 free hours of electricity - so not everyone gets it - according to them anyway and the stressed out person who called me back kept assuring me that he 1. Couldn’t speak for the govt (I hadn’t asked him to), 2. had no idea why I’d been sent the 25 page contract - like had anything changed? No idea; & 3. said he wouldn’t spend time reading it either. Unable to clarify why no free electricity for me… nor why I get price hikes. ☹️😐🫤🤔
Off to see my local MP tomorrow. It looks like some get a few hours of free electricity while others get price increases.
Edited to correct the name of the “offer”.

#Australien startet im Juli 2026 das Programm #SolarSharer: Haushalte in drei Bundesstaaten erhalten mittags für mindestens drei Stunden kostenlosen #Solarstrom.
Ziel ist es, die hohe Einspeisung aus über vier Millionen #Photovoltaikanlagen effizient zu nutzen. Voraussetzung ist ein #SmartMeter, um #Stromverbrauch gezielt zu steuern. Das Modell könnte auf weitere Regionen ausgeweitet werden.
