It depends on who you listen to.<!--more--><\/p>\n<p>Yesterday was a busy day on Australia&#8217;s energy scene. First, the Coalition party room approved the National Energy Guarantee although there were some holdouts. Then in the evening, Minister for the Environment and Energy Josh Frydenberg held a telephone meeting with NEG jurisdictions that <a href=\"http:\/\/www.joshfrydenberg.com.au\/guest\/mediaReleasesDetails.aspx?id=623\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">resulted in agreement<\/a> to release for consultation the National Electricity Law (NEL) amendments that would implement the Guarantee.<\/p>\n<p>However, Labor states remain anything but totally on board, with ACT Minister for Climate Change and Sustainability Shane Rattenbury saying\u00a0 <a href=\"https:\/\/www.solarquotes.com.au\/blog\/neg-coag-meeting-outcome-mb0704\/\"> issues raised<\/a> about the National Energy Guarantee were &#8220;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.smh.com.au\/politics\/federal\/day-of-reckoning-on-energy-plan-merely-postponed-act-s-rattenbury-says-20180814-p4zxib.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">simply falling on deaf ears<\/a>&#8220;.<\/p>\n<p>Among all this NEG activity, the Australian Competition and Consumer Commission has been busy <a href=\"https:\/\/www.solarquotes.com.au\/blog\/accc-liberal-national-solar-mb0706\/\">peddling its suite of recommendations<\/a> on electricity affordability to the Nationals and Liberals. These recommendations include the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.solarquotes.com.au\/blog\/accc-solar-subsidy-mb0663\/\">premature axing<\/a> of the Small-scale Renewable Energy Scheme (SRES), and with that, Australia\u2019s solar subsidy. This would be a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.solarquotes.com.au\/blog\/accc-solar-rebate\/\">very bad idea<\/a>, and not just for those wanting to install solar panels.<\/p>\n<p>There&#8217;s a fear such a move may be weaved in among all the NEG hullabaloo.<\/p>\n<p>So, where are things at right now? It&#8217;s still very unclear.<\/p>\n<h2>The Smart Energy Council Says..<\/h2>\n<blockquote><p>&#8220;The Prime Minister confirmed that all the ACCC recommendations would be implemented. This includes the recommendation to scrap the Small Scale Renewable Energy Scheme (SRES).&#8221;<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>The SEC says that despite its calls for clarity on this point, the government has not ruled out immediately scrapping the scheme.<\/p>\n<h2>The Clean Energy Council Says..<\/h2>\n<blockquote><p>&#8220;.. common sense has prevailed and the Coalition party room has ignored the ill-considered and unjustified proposal to abolish or change the Small-scale Renewable Energy Scheme (SRES). &#8220;<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>However, the CEC also states the ACCC\u2019s recommendation to change the SRES may arise again as discussions over energy policy progress in the time ahead.<\/p>\n<p>Conflicting messages aside, it does seem there is a threat even if it isn&#8217;t a clear and present danger. But what the Government may want to do and what it&#8217;s allowed to could be two very different things. Perhaps the SRES may just be held as a trading card for the Government to gain other concessions. Given solar&#8217;s popularity, scrapping the SRES certainly wouldn&#8217;t do the Turnbull Government any favours among many voters.<\/p>\n<p>If you&#8217;re considering <a href=\"https:\/\/www.solarquotes.com.au\/solar101.html\"> going solar<\/a> at some point, it would be wise keep a close eye on the situation to try and ascertain how it may pan out. The <a href=\"https:\/\/www.solarquotes.com.au\/panels\/rebate\/\"> subsidy (aka solar rebate)<\/a> can knock thousands off the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.solarquotes.com.au\/panels\/cost\/\"> cost of installing a system<\/a>, so it&#8217;s something you don&#8217;t want to miss out on &#8211; but you also don&#8217;t want to rush a purchase decision as that could result in buying a system that doesn&#8217;t meet your needs.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Is there any real threat of the subsidy for home and small commercial solar power systems being thrown off a cliff &#8211; and very soon?
