THANKS for your excellent editorial ("Home solar sting mixes the message", Opinion, 20/5). At the time of purchasing, grid investors such as Ausgrid believed they were making an excellent investment. How can they now (on realising it was not money for jam) hit the public with this kind of penalty for feeding in power from solar panels?
On buying from the government surely they gave an ironclad guarantee of maintaining and growing the grid. They must not be allowed to get away with this. What's next, the water board telling us we must pay for new pipes already funded through rates? Otherwise why are executives paid such enormous sums to not be able to add up?
