Constituency questions

Northern Metropolitan Region


Northern Metropolitan Region

Sheena WATT (Northern Metropolitan) (12:46): (681) My question is for the Minister for Energy and Resources in the other place. Henry, a constituent of the Northern Metropolitan Region, is a home owner along with his partner Lucy. They own and occupy a unit, having moved in in June of last year. They, along with other residents and the owners corporation, see many of their neighbours with solar on their rooftops and think that the time is right for them to join the solar revolution and the transition to renewables. But Henry and his neighbours also report to me that they want some cost-of-living relief, especially with some reduced power bills. So, Minister, my question is: with Labor’s recently announced solar for apartments scheme, how much is Henry likely to save on his ongoing energy costs?
