Bereits zum wiederholten Male haben australische Gemeinden ihre Solarenergie verteidigen müssen: Ein Vorschlag der offiziellen Behörde AEMC zielte auf Besitzer von Solar-Dachanlagen ab, um diesen Gebühren für die Einspeisung von Solarenergie abzuverlangen. In Deutschland gibt es eine jahrzehntelange Verbindung zwischen erneuerbaren Energien und dem Bürgerengagement zur Unterstützung derer - in Australien scheint dies erfreulicherweise auch verstärkt zu wirken.
The Australian Energy Market Commission (AEMC), responsible for regulating the energy market, has dropped a proposal to let power network companies charge rooftop solar owners for feeding their electricity to the grid in a form of ‘solar tax’, after facing resistance from communities. Shani Tager, senior solar campaigner at PV support group Solar Citizens, said: “It was an outrageous proposal to begin with and has been rightly taken off the table. 2,500 solar owners across Australia made it very clear to the AEMC that this was an unacceptable approach and they should not be charged for exporting their clean solar power to the grid. “The big power stations don’t have to pay to export the energy they generate to the grid and solar households shouldn’t have to pay either."
