Well, there are interesting, you know, that these, the payments we're getting
matched
All of the unit prices for electricity have gone up, what you buy from the grid.
matched
All of them, seven of them, the main suppliers have all put up their prices.
matched
They did not put up what they're paying you when you export some excess electricity back to them from your rooftop panels, which is very interesting.
matched
So this is where I started off and I started ringing around going, OK, what's happening here?
matched
Is there any chance that they might increase these?
matched
What I'm being told is, no, the opposite.
matched
They're likely to decrease them.
matched
They could even phase them out.
matched
This is happening quite a bit on the continent.
matched
Places like the Netherlands have a very, very generous system at the moment.

for the same price you pay to buy that off them, the electricity companies.
matched
But that's been phased out, so they're going to a totally different system that is not as generous.
matched

matched
You'll get about...
matched
16 to 19 cents for exporting excess electricity back into the grid.
matched
They don't like it because they can buy it cheaper from a gas-fired power plant.
matched
The energy suppliers can buy it cheaper.
matched
It's coming to them at the wrong time.
