You can send in a submission (closes this Friday) , created by Solar Citizens, an independent, community-based organisation to object to the Australian Energy Market Commission’s proposed rule change to increase fixed charges. This is what they say:

"Here’s what we know: Independent modelling of this proposed rule change would see electricity bills for households with 8kW of solar and a 20kWh battery increase by roughly $400–$700 every year under the AEMC’s proposal. [1]

Higher fixed network charges would wipe out a significant share of the savings solar owners have spent thousands of dollars to achieve — and will stretch out solar and battery payback periods, cutting the return on these investments. 💸

This is not what you signed up for, and it’s unfair to introduce these changes now.

Plus, by wrecking the return on investment, it sends a clear message to the households thinking about installing solar and batteries: 'you can't trust big energy to cut your lunch, so don't bother'."
