Angus Taylor running away from Solar Citizens? | Image via Angus Taylor<\/a> : Facebook<\/p><\/div>\n

Grassroots advocacy group Solar Citizens has come out swinging after being informed newly-minted Federal Energy Minister Angus Taylor was too busy to meet with them.<\/p>\n

Solar Citizens recently launched a petition campaign<\/a> calling on the Minister to immediately rule out the premature axing of the Small-scale Renewable Energy Scheme (SRES) as proposed by the Australian Competition and Consumer Commission (ACCC). The SRES provides support for the purchase of home solar power<\/a>, knocking thousands off the up-front cost of installing solar panels<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The day before representatives of the group were to meet with the Minister in Canberra to present the open letter and signatures, Solar Citizens says it received an email from Angus Taylor’s office informing the group the Energy Minister was too busy to see them and that the letter should be mailed.<\/p>\n

\u00a0“Unfortunately, it seems like the new Energy Minister is too busy bad-mouthing renewable energy subsidies in the media to give Australia\u2019s 1.9 million plus solar households, and many more supporters, the time of day,” said part of an email from Solar Citizens National Director Joseph Scales.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Future Of SRES Unclear<\/h2>\n

Last week, Minister Taylor confirmed in Question Time that Australia’s Renewable Energy Target (RET) will wind down from 2020 with nothing to replace it<\/a>, but it’s still not clear if the Morrison Government will move to axe Australia’s “solar rebate<\/a>” early, which is already being gradually phased out<\/a>. It will come as no surprise that a Liberal to give the thumbs up to the recommendation is ex-Prime Minister and now backbencher Tony Abbott<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Solar Citizens is encouraging solar power system owners and supporters of the technology to add their names<\/a> as signatories to the open letter<\/a>. The group has set a goal of 10,000 signatures and at the time it was to present the letter, the number had reached 6,000.<\/p>\n

“We\u2019re going to keep making a noise for the SRES until Angus Taylor agrees to meet with us and receive the letter,” says Solar Citizens. “The more signatures we get, the harder it will be for the Minister to fob us off again.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

The ACCC recommended that the SRES should be wound down and abolished by 2021<\/a> to reduce its impact on retail electricity prices. However, the SRES only adds ~1% to household electricity bills<\/a> and aside from benefits such as carbon reduction and job creation, solar power installed under the scheme lowers the cost of electricity for everyone by helping rein in wholesale electricity prices.<\/p>\n
