Victorians with rooftop solar will get virtually nothing for feeding power to the grid A glut of energy during the day and rapid uptake of rooftop solar has prompted the Essential Services Commission to propose slashing the feed-in tariff.

The electricity market was designed around fossil fuels and was not set up for rooftop solar. This is why we're calling for electricity market reform that ensures fair pricing for Australia's 4 million households with solar. www.smh.com.au/national/vic...
