flag Australia launches Solar Sharer scheme July 1, 2026, giving households free midday electricity to cut bills and boost grid stability.

flag The Australian government is launching the Solar Sharer scheme on July 1, 2026, in NSW, South Australia, and south-east Queensland, offering households at least three hours of free daytime electricity daily to reduce energy bills by up to $800 annually. flag The program, available to homes with smart meters regardless of solar ownership, encourages shifting appliance use—like washing machines, dryers, hot water, and EV charging—to midday when solar generation is highest. flag It aims to lower evening peak demand, improve grid stability, and support clean energy use. flag The initiative is optional and part of broader energy market reforms, with potential expansion to other states by 2027.
