Australia offers free electricity during peak solar hours

hotnews.ro (Romanian)

Australia is launching a program to offer free electricity during peak solar generation hours. This initiative aims to share the benefits of the country's abundant solar power. The "Solar Sharer" scheme mandates electricity retailers provide at least three hours of free electricity daily. This encourages consumers to shift energy-intensive activities to midday when solar output is highest. This policy, set to begin in July 2026 in select states, aims to stabilize energy demand and benefit all consumers, regardless of solar panel ownership.
