Why 80c per kilowatt hour?
The 80c per kilowatt rate is fair compensation given the means by which the electricity has been produced and the investment home owners and businesses make in the initial outlay. A rate also needs to be high enough to attract parties whom may not have considered this type of investment previously. Essentially, home owners and businesses are paying for the infrastructure that would usually be paid for by the government (but ultimately we, the taxpayers) and electricity companies (but ultimately, we the consumers). As electricity will be generated close to the source where it is used, there is also less line loss, which is energy waste resulting from the transmission of electrical energy across distances. Electricity generated in populated areas means is cleaner, greener and provides better value for money than that created by a power station that may be many kilometres away.
