$400 extra from July 1. Ouch.<\/p><\/div>\n

ACTEW AGL have just announced that they are increasing the cost of installing a solar compatible, import export meter from July 1 2015.<\/p>\n

Basically – if your application to connect is received after 30 June, instead of paying $66, you will be charged $500 for a new meter.<\/p>\n

So if you live in ACT and have decided to go solar, it makes sense to sign up as soon as possible. You can get quick quotes from up to 3 ACT installers here.<\/a><\/p>\n

ActewAGL General Manager Asset Management Stephen Devlin said:<\/p>\n

“Charges for meter installation will be increasing. This change has occurred because of new National Electricity Rules that have been introduced that restructure the provision of metering in the industry.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

As part of the Australian Energy Regulator\u2019s final decision released on 30 April 2015, ActewAGL Distribution is required to move to full cost recovery for metering services from 1 July 2015.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Therefore, from 1 July 2015 ActewAGL customers will be required to pay the full up-front cost for new meters, including installation. Applications for any connection received before 30 June 2015 will be treated under the old pricing regime, where customers only pay for installation.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

For solar customers, the cost of a new meter and installation would change from about $66 to $500.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Solar meter charges will also be increasing by around $200 in NSW if you are on the Ausgrid network from July 1 thanks to the AER’s decision.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
