Comment on Energy retailers to be directed to offer free power three hours a day

This doesn’t sound like much, but with very minimal effort, it could save over 10% on your power bill.
Do the washing.
Cook a meal.
Run the dishwasher.
Fill a thermos.
Crank the aircon to cool/heat the house.
If your power bill is $400/month, that’s $40 for doing stuff you were already going to do - just in that 3 hour window each day.

If you already do these during the day while your solar is generating enough power to do that, you’re not really saving anything though?

It may seem like everyone has solar panels, but alas we don’t. For two-thirds of us, this would not be free anyway.

And if you don’t, you’ll be paying more outside of these 3 hours to make up for the “free” 3 hours.
