Energy policy failure behind 10-year story of spiralling electricity bills
Fruit Growers Tasmania | Tuesday, 9 January 2018, 8.00am
Tasmanian primary producers are facing increasing power costs with some tariffs doubling between 2017 and 2018 contracts and others paying up to 41 cents per kwh. The lack of competition in the energy market in Tasmania is detrimental to the agri-business and agri-tourism sectors.
Fruit Growers Tasmania is embarking on an exciting energy program which will improve the property yield from renewable energy to make farming operations cash positive with energy income. We have a partner in the project and primary producers are already benefiting in Tasmania from this program - no it isn't about selling solar systems. But first read this attached article from the ABC which underpins this new exciting program which will commence for the agri-business sector (including the broader primary industries sector) state-wide in early February.
