Isn't that the way it works in a lot of countries? Singapore, Indonesia, most of Africa and South America? Except in countries that have things the USA wants and then the winner or loser gets shot (with the assistance of the CIA) depending on whether they comply with the USA's wishes. Theo

Don't they have a government authority in NSW that oversees such charges? We have an Essential Services Commission here in Victoria that regulates energy prices. Oh wait, that's not a good example...

I suspect it has more to do with the ineptitude of my electrickery "supplier" in getting their act together than the sheer power of My 1KW solar system. Moike

When nothing much electrical is running in the house, and the new solar panels can see the sun, the disc turns slowly backwards. :-) We are just waiting on the new, meter to measure input to grid. regards, CrazyCam |
