The Morrison Government has adopted a comprehensive pro-coal, anti-solar agenda, CoalKeeper, that could cost you up to $430 a year, including:
· An annual $7 billion CoalKeeper subsidy that will allow unprofitable, ageing, polluting coal-fired stations to operate well beyond their lifespan; and
· A new SolarStopper tax on solar farms (also known as the Congestion Management Model.
These are the worst possible policies at the worst possible time. There is still time to stop them.
We demand that the Government does not go ahead with suggested suite of pro-coal, anti-solar policies including:
- The multi-billion “CoalKeeper” subsidy that pays unprofitable, ageing and polluting coal-fired stations to keep operating;
- The new solar tax that penalises Australian families to export their solar power to the energy grid;
- A new tax on solar farms (named the Congestion Management Model); and
- Legislative changes to the Australian Renewable Energy Agency Act that force the national renewable energy agency to fund fossil fuel projects, and which may be illegal.
