Kimberley O'Sullivan: Otago Senior Research Fellow says solar subsidy should replace winter energy payment

from Heather du Plessis-Allan Drive · host Newstalk ZB

Otago Senior Research Fellow Kimberley O'Sullivan reckons the money for the winter energy payment should be instead put towards a solar subsidy.  "What I do think that we need is an off-ramp, a way to permanently reduce household exposure to rising electricity costs so that we don't have to keep paying the winter energy payment and perhaps in 20 years we won't need it at all," O'Sullivan told Andrew Dickens.  LISTEN ABOVE See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
