Ordinarily we wouldn't supply email addresses to petition targets however I've supplied the file with these email addresses in the hope that the Minister might be able to supply our interested supporters with a response to their concerns about increasing electricity bills. Released under RTI Act - TMR I also look forward to your views on the Local Network Credits proposal.

I was just going through the petition and noticed that there is no email addresses attached. Formal petitions in Queensland require a return address of signatories, are you able to resend? David From:Released Reece Turner [mailto under:reece@solarcit RTIizen s.orgAct.au] - TMR Sent: Wednesday, 13 January 2016 9:57 AM To: David Shankey <[email protected]>; [email protected] Subject: Follow-up and Local Network Credits Hi David, Paul, 135-05866 MIN - Page Number: 2 of 219 Good to meet with you yesterday. I hope we conveyed to you that Solar Citizens, whilst born out of protecting the legacy feed-in tariffs that helped kick-start rooftop solar in Australia, we're now more broadly focussed on a fair go for solar across a range of issues and are looking to support policies that help enable solar to grow as part of the inevitable energy transition. To that end we'll continue to take a particular interest not only in the range of positive election policies the Palaszczuk Govt has committed to (Solar auction, 50% by 2030, 1 M Solar Rooftops, Fair FiT) but also any changes to tariff pricing structures that have the potential to negate any benefits to solar from a "fair'' FiT by leading to higher fixed costs. As promised I've provided some information below about the proposed rule change currently with the AEMC concerning Local Network Credits for distributed generation. This is an exciting field and if successful would help the business cases for community and commercial solar. As a leading advocate of solar power, it would be great to see the OLD Government take an interest in this area with a submission to the AEMC rule change and look into ways to support its implementation. Kind Regards, Reece Turner Consumer Campaigner Solar Citizens Local Network Credits - Helping to share the benefits of Solar more broadly • Research into the network benefits of distributed energy such as solar rooftops is limited in Australia. However, in many instances rooftop PV helps ease network constraints and thereby potential costs by distributing electricity over a shorter distance from generation to consumption. These benefits are not currently reflected in electricity pricing. • The concept of Local network credits are reduced network tariffs for electricity generation used within a defined local network area. • This recognises that the generator is using only part of the electricity network and reduces the network charge accordingly. • The rationale for a local network charge is to address inequitable network charges levied on a generator/consumer pair; disincentivise Releasedduplication of infra stunderructure (private RTI wires) setAct up to avoid- TMR network charges altogether; and maintain use of the electricity network • The City of Sydney, Total Environment Centre, and the Property Council of Australia have submitted a rule change to the AEMC. • The rule change request is for distribution network service providers to calcu late the long-term economic ben efits that embedded generators provide to distribution and transmission networks, and pay embedded generators a local generation network credit that reflects those estimated long-term benefits. 135-05866 MIN - Page Number: 3 of 219 j • The AEMC has published a consultation paper to facilitate public discussion on the issues raised by the rule change request. Submissions on the rule change request are due by 4 February 2016. • AEMC consultation paper and submission page: http://www.aemc.qov.au/Rule Changes/Local-Generation-Network-Credits# • The Institute for Sustainable Futures at the University of Technology Sydney is undertaking research into calculating LNCs which involves trials with some networks https://m.uts.edu.au/sites/default/files/LNCVNM%20B uildin g%20a%20Level%20Playing%20Field%20FINAL%20v 1.pdf Reece Turner Consumer Campaigner Solar Citizens www.solarcitizens.org.au p: NR e: [email protected] fb: www.facebook.com/solarcitizens twitter: @solarcitizens SolarCitizens STAND UP FOR ~\ft/,,~ LA~ www.atandupforsolar.org.au • A project to protect the rights of millions of solar owners, create clean power and help build a solar future for all.
