The Minister for the Environment went on to give details of the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.solarquotes.com.au\/systems\/feed-in-tariffs\/act\/\">ACT feed-in tariff<\/a> scheme adding that the generous rate would assist community groups in the takeup of solar across the Territory.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>&#8220;The ACT Feed in Tariff provided for under the initiative will be up to 20 cents per kilowatt hour for 20 years, slightly higher than the nation leading price achieved by successful proponents in the Government&#8217;s successful large-scale Solar Auction conducted in 2012-13. This rate will help community groups develop innovative community outcomes.&#8221;<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>The ACT government is a little like having a mini Germany in our midst. In a nation which has seen feed-in tariffs slashed repeatedly by cost cutting bean counters pandering to their fossil fuel interests, the ACT, like the European role model, is using taxpayers funded dollars wisely. That is to promote and encourage the takeup of solar systems through an innovative community solar power initiative.<\/p>\n<p>Any chance of Simon and his mates popping down the road to the nation&#8217;s parliament to show the feds how it&#8217;s done? Unlikely of course, but a nice thought anyway! Do you think &#8220;Solar&#8221; Simon Corbett&#8217;s community solar power scheme could be replicated across the country?
