The Victorian government has announced plans to install subsidised solar power systems in 650,000 homes over the next 10 years. The Solar Homes program could save eligible customers $900 per year on their electricity bills, the government claims.
The NSW Government’s announcement of $85million in funding for regional community energy and storage projects is a welcome first step according to Solar Citizens.
“This is a great step to support communities to install solar and to take back control of not just their power bills but their energy system,” said Joseph Scales, National Director at Solar Citizens.
Solar Citizens applauds the announcement by the Victorian Andrews Government today to provide financing support for 50% of the upfront cost for 650,000 Victorian homes to go solar.
The Victorian government has announced a $1.24 billion funding package to install solar on 650,000 Victorian homes over the next decade. The deal has been labelled a game-changer and a breath of fresh air in the energy debate by leading charity Environment Victoria.
