Retaining some 400 jobs in the solar industry will cost you zip, keep Aurora and drop the price hike awarded to new retailers. The 52% retail margin increase simply sees 1.6 cent increase in power to consumers and a loss of 200,400? or 600″\? Aurora jobs . non benefit in status quo of Labour Green decisions here.
Plus some $3.8 million lost in gst revenues from lost solar sales this year alone , then Aurora quadrupled it profit last year to $84 mill and that is before the 52% retail margin increase impact. So why give away the golden goose here?
Also the financially hard shipped get a nett 1.58 cent price decrease out of these two combined actions along with small and medium businesses … no losers as our FIT formula sees no loss to Tasnetworks in the transmission or retail area but drive an economy of householder investment that cuts their cost of living and drives the solar businesses and associated flow on effects. And those Jobs Jobs Jobs perhaps up to 1000 Tassie jobs lost.
Balls in your court here Will
