Power Prices Rises In Perth
Maybe not next week, but soon headlines will again read “power price rises announced”. In the past 12 months Australians have seen huge power price rises, more so than ever we are looking for ways to ZERO our electricity bill. There a three key drivers responsible for these price increases.
1. The cost of transmitting power
2. The cost of producing power.
3. The cost of Coal based emissions.
Transmitting power
Over the past 20 years Perth has seen exponential population growth while at the same time air conditioning has become standard for nearly every house hold, with this comes increasing pressure on existing electricity infrastructure.
Generating power
We are all aware of how scarce cheap energy for our world has become. As the global population expands demand for energy (especially electricity) has sky rocketed. This sees developing nations buying the same coal we use to make our electricity here in Perth. We all know this coal will not last forever.
The coal based emissions
Not only is coal scarce but it is also a great emitter of carbon. In 2009* the Rudd government announced Australia would have 20% renewable energy by 2020. One way to achieve this was to tax coal fired power plants and use the this money to subsidies residential solar power systems for the people of Perth and across Australia. The coal fired power companies pass these costs on to the consumer.
No body knows where these price rises will stop. one thing we know for sure is that people are protecting against further price rises and ZEROing their bill’s by switching to solar.
While reading this article many home owners discover they have the resources to go solar.
