flag Australia’s 2026 Solar Sharer scheme mandates three hours of free daytime power to boost solar use and ease evening grid strain.

flag Australia’s Solar Sharer scheme, launching mid-2026 in NSW, South Australia, and south-east Queensland, will require retailers to offer three hours of free daytime power to shift demand to peak solar hours. flag While aimed at reducing evening grid strain and supporting clean energy use, smaller retailers warn the policy could destabilize markets without reforms to network tariffs and other costs. flag They urge exemptions from fees and flexibility to adjust prices outside free periods to maintain financial sustainability. flag Regulators are seeking industry feedback on implementation, with the government emphasizing consumer benefits but acknowledging risks of unintended price increases.
