Australia is rolling out a policy that will give households in New South Wales, South East Queensland, and South Australia access to at least three hours of free electricity each day during peak solar production, even if they do not have rooftop solar panels. The idea is simple but powerful: Australia now generates so much solar power around midday that electricity prices often collapse, while the grid struggles later in the evening when demand spikes. By making daytime power free, the program encourages people to run appliances, charge devices, and shift energy use into hours when clean electricity is abundant, easing pressure on the grid and lowering household bills at the same time. This also extends the benefits of solar energy to renters and households without panels, highlighting how renewable systems can be redesigned to work for everyone.
