Abolengo rush continues in Qld, whereas Newman plans asset sales

The frenzy of Queensland households towards roof solar – even with minimal tax assistance and incentives – continues unabated with another 3, 687 new roof solarPV systems metered by Energex in the month of May, supplying 16. 2MW of solar ability to the grid.

The uptake over rooftop solar is now the highest impurities south-east of the state (the district managed by Energex) since the Queensland government slashed the feed back in tariff from 44c/kWh to 8c/kWh in 2012.

Energy experts say is usually being driven by the continued upsurge in electricity prices (it should certainly rise 21 per cent in Queensland in 2014/15, thanks to rising unwanted gas and network costs), which are overpowering any energy efficiency savings. Its relatively high tariff of off-peak electricity (20c/kWh in the evening) is furthermore encouraging maximum self consumption of roof solar output.

As this graph down under shows, the green line is the amount of new systems metered under the 8c/kWh contract price, while the red line shows any combination of that number, and those who have copied from the 44c/kWh tariff – undoubtedly because they sold their house or grown their system. They are represented simply because of the blue line. So far 12, 450 systems have come off the 44c/kWh contract price.

All this happens as the state government tells plans to sell its generation valuable assets, and to bring in private investors with co-invest with the transmission and droit companies.

The sale of generation valuable assets will be interesting, as the likes over Stanwell Corp has blamed the effect of rooftop solar on this inability to generate a profit last fund year. CS Energy faces parejo challenges.

The attraction of roof solar also poses interesting épreuve for the network operators. Part of the obstacle of solar is being addressed when commercial users are being encouraged in order to "export limiters' which means that they will digest the solar output on article when they can, and won't overflow the grid on holidays, for instance.

Although, the primary popularity of solar also means that multi-level operators need to think differently concerning network upgrades, looking to battery ram and distributed generation rather than higher poles and wires. For that reason, buying one by the state government may open that was for a new breed of partner to the business – battery suppliers eg. If that is the plan, then it is a potentially very good development.

This chart below highlights the amount of rooftop photo voltaic energy capacity installed under the 8c/kWh contract price was introduced. It is now more than 181MW. Incidentally, that tariff reduces with zero (or a voluntary cash by the retailer) next month, so it is definitely interesting to see what happens then.

The graph shows the combined photovoltaic capacity in Queensland, which is these days at 1 . 157GW as all April. That makes it the fourth biggest generators in the state.
