" i see also that the electricity mob in wa is contemplating charging higher prices for those that have solar panels. "

Given the city electricity consumers subsidise the country electricity consumers to the tune of $ 600 million per year,via a higher tariff,it would be in both the city and county consumers interests for the government to dole out an offgrid package IMHO.

The madness of WA’s multi-billion fossil fuel energy disaster

WA has conceded its electricity market is unsustainable. Its wholesale prices are double the rest of Australia, $1 billion has been spent on fossil fuel generators that are not needed, and subsidies are costing taxpayers $600 million a year. A 55-page discussion paper looking at how the market can be reformed does not even mention the word solar. Instead, it canvasses importing coal from Indonesia.
A WA government review has revealed the full catastrophe of the state’s electricity market, highlighting the extraordinary waste and misdirected subsidies that are costing it billions of dollars, and has resulted in the highest generation costs in the country.
