New plan to lower power bills for Aussies
A new plan to lower power bills for millions of Australians who rent will be launched by the Greens at a Smart Energy Conference on Thursday.
The Right to Solar plan would enable renters to install solar at their rental property, with upfront costs paid by the government under a Greens initiative to lower power bills and reduce emissions for seven million Australians.
Party leader Adam Bandt is expected to make the announcement in response to the government’s battery storage grants that would be inaccessible to renters.
Prime Minister Anthony Albanese and Climate Energy Minister Chris Bowen announced that the government would roll out a $2.3bn Cheaper Home Batteries Program, reducing the cost of a typical installed battery by 30 per cent if re-elected.
