Having lived in Zealand Strata scheme for several years, then escaped to Port Stephens & a house with pool & gas/elecricity supplied. Installed solar panels 3 years ago & enjoyed reduced Lecky bill. It’s never free as some people attest. Winter account is around $200+ summer is even from them to us. Going all electric would be a disaster. Once the powers that be have conned everyone into switching, then up will go the rates the Lecky people charge. Trust me, I deliberately heat my pool to stop me selling to the power mob for 7 cents a Kwh.

It’s not a matter of anyone conning anyone. Getting off gas and going all electric while ramping up renewable electricity generation is the only practical way we can decarbonise our energy supplies. Gas will face a death spiral as ever more people get off gas and those who remain connected have to be billed more to maintain the network for a dwindling customer base.
Where I am (ACT), electricity prices are low and stable for two reasons: 1) The ACT govt. entered into long-term, fixed price power purchase agreements with renewable generators, and 2) electricity pricing is regulated. Retailers can offer pricing plans below the regulated ceiling but not above. If other states’ prices get too high, their governments could introduce similar policies.
