"Across Australia, households with rooftop solar are generating more
electricity than ever, yet most are paid less than 5 c/kWh for what they
export. Meanwhile, those without solar face high and rising retail tariffs,
often with a premium for any accredited “green” power.
Why? Because the current market is broken: It treats locally generated
electrons as if they’ve been sent the full length of the legacy electricity
system and back – incurring charges along the way – even when they’re used by
a neighbour next door.
For years, the Renew Illawarra Network have argued that this model is outdated.
Instead, we’ve championed Community Energy Zones (CEZs) – localised, integrated
networks that produce, store, use and share renewable electricity within their
own communities. The benefits: cheaper energy, fairer access, and a more
resilient grid."
