Action is desperately needed as power companies profit while growing numbers of manufacturers and households power down, commentators say.

Remember when we were told that privatisation of power generation would lower prices?

    Battery storage for residential solar is getting popular, though this of course comes with additional cost that you then need to offset.

    I’d like solar, and I don’t really care if it has good payback so long as it’s roughly break even. I’m part of the problem 😆

      I understand.

      If the feed in rate was ok, then it would be a good idea. But then again, if the power price keeps increasing, the solar + storage option starts looking good.
