John Harman: Director of solar company Lightforce suggests levelling playing field between gentailers and retailers before homes switch to solar

from Early Edition with Ryan Bridge · host Newstalk ZB

There's a suggestion a level playing field between gentailers and retailers is needed before homes switch to solar.   Election policies of National and Labour would both let homeowners pay back low interest loans for solar through their rates.  Labour's plan would also let local line companies provide loans, repaid through power bills.  Director of solar company Lightforce John Harman told Ryan Bridge fair prices are needed for renters and low income homes to make the change.  He says companies are making record profits from New Zealanders with high power prices and that's not going to stop.  LISTEN ABOVESee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
