Redflow Executive Chairman Simon Hackett Simon HackettRedflow Executive Chairman Simon Hackett has called on state governments to offer home battery storage incentives to encourage consumers to ‘trade in’ their generous solar Feed-In Tariffs (FITs).

Speaking recently at an industry conference, Mr. Hackett said the solar Feed-In Tariffs had already achieved their goal of kickstarting solar panel adoption in Australia. “Australia is among the world leaders in its per capita deployment of PV solar panels,” he said.

“From a public policy point of view, continuing to pay solar Feed-In Tariffs beyond this point represents a substantial forward liability that does not deliver improved public good outcomes. However, state governments are clearly sensitive to the political risk of simply cancelling these long-running tariff schemes, some of which hold liabilities to as far as 2028.

“However Governments have an attractive way out of that problem, which serves both a public policy and industry development agenda while removing these long term liabilities from the public purse. This involves inviting consumers to voluntarily trade in the residual life of their FIT for funding to buy a home battery energy storage system. This would have the dual benefit of eliminating a long-term liability for governments while kickstarting a home energy storage industry in Australia.

More than 1300 Australians are affected by albinism, which has a frequency of one in 17,000 in this country. The genetic condition, which arises from a lack of pigment in the skin, hair and eyes, is linked to pale skin, white hair and poor eyesight, often in the range of legal blindness.

Over the coming week, people with albinism will gather with friends and family throughout Australia including Perth, Adelaide, Melbourne, Sydney, Newcastle and Townville, to promote awareness of the genetic condition. Persons with albinism work in all areas of Australian life, from running businesses and working in the public sector to raising children and representing citizens in parliament.

However, In Africa, persons with albinism are regularly killed in countries including Malawi, Mozambique and Tanzania world where their body parts are valued in witchcraft. Superstition leads many to believe children with albinism bring bad luck.
