Josh Ellison: Rewiring Aotearoa research and development lead on whether solar power will fix our energy issues

There's growing calls for another look at solar power and renewable energy following a chilly week for the nation. The recent cold snap has brought a power warning across the country, with Transpower expecting record electricity demand. The current Government, Labour and the Greens are all considering changes when it comes to solar power in our country, but is solar the answer to our energy issues and rising power bills?  Rewiring Aotearoa research and development lead Josh Ellison says power bills have been on the rise over the last few years - and they're outpacing inflation.  "It's been increasing a lot faster than inflation and a lot faster than it should be increasing, and so I think the shock gets bigger every year."
