All the more reason to deploy rooftop solar and a battery. Predatory energy company? Cut them out.

Actually they are cutting you out. Some solar and all battery installations require a backdoor that allows the government to switch your network off at any time.

I'm sure they'll never use it for wrongdoings... but also they probably will.

It's a way to leverage the loads in certain areas but it's dreadful.

But yep. Solar is great for Australian homes. I still think it's weird that we had to solve electricity at the home level though..
