Something similar was going on in Qld. a few months back. Lots of rumors going round that the LNP Govt was going to impose a surcharge on Solar connected customers to pay for the cost to upgrade the network to cater for the solar feed in. Gobbly gook IMHO.
Anyway lots of us complained & they backed off. I got a long individual looking reply from my local LNP member & later a long detailed general response from the Premier.
All quiet at the moment & I'm still getting my 50c /KWH ... Most from the State Govt & a bit from Origin Energy .. my retailer.
