Power giant warns of ‘two-speed’ green shift which benefits only the rich

Ausgrid’s trials include small to medium -sized batteries and so -called “community power networks ğı where it can install and edit solar panels and batteries in certain areas to shift day solar energy to the evening peaks and to correct grid demand.

Victoria’s distribution companies such as Citipower, Powercor and United Energy are looking for regulatory changes that allow them to install and maintain electric vehicle charger on the power poles. Ausgrid was allowed to run a pilot program through a subsidiary to establish 1000 kerbside Charger to NSW.

Both community power and home charging offers, energy retailers, charging operators and electric vehicle enterprises, including a strong opposition from the sector.

The National Electrical and Communication Association, representing the electrical contractors, hit the charging plan of the distributors as an ılmış unseen force capturing ”that could increase invoices.

One of the largest Australian energy generators and retailers, the Agl said that distributors can control the charging infrastructure presentation, weaken the incentives for competitive providers and may lead these assets to be presented less efficient and more expensive.

“As a general economic principle, monopoly service providers are encouraged for their customers who are low in excessive price and service,” AGL said.

Electric vehicle charging company Evie Networks expressed concerns that distributors will recover costs from wider regulated networks, including non -home drivers. “The wrong policy solution for this right problem,” he said.

Ausgrid said that the community power networks offer will save the benefits from the benefits of the costs and that he would have any risks around the company’s trial phase.

In the meantime, the charging plan of the kerbsy, many drivers from electric vehicles to electric vehicles less costly electric vehicles with less costly electric vehicles can help to overcome the lack of public house charger, he said.

“There are real obstacles to make people who do not have a park out of street parking comfortably feel comfortable in buying their next vehicles, and this is because we do not have some kind of home charger in the community,” he said.

Amphlett Lewis attributes some industry feedback to distributors’ concerns that other companies are trying to expand to areas that can force business models.

“’This is what we can do to support a faster, cheaper and more equal transition for customers,’ he said. “The problems of tomorrow will not be solved with yesterday’s solutions.”
