The environmental and economic benefits for Territorians who go solar are undeniable but Labor has let them down again.

Labor’s decision to reduce the solar PV tariff without warning was a kick in the guts for Territorians.

Labor promised 13,000 Territorians that they would be rewarded for going green, and instead they have been punished.

Many Territorians have just received their first electricity bills with the higher than expected costs as the lower tariff kicks in, on top of a 2.7 per cent increase under Labor’s latest price hike. This could be as much as a $300 a quarter increase per family.

The Country Liberal Party would reward Territorians that go green by immediately introducing a time-of-day incentive, doubling the feed-in tariff during peak times.

We would also double the solar battery bonus to $12,000 lowering or eliminating power bills for Territorians.

It’s time for change. No more excuses!
