Solar announcement beats dumb solar subsides - gets government out of the way

The Taxpayers' Union is welcoming today's announcement - in particular - getting regulatory taxes out of the way of both solar and micro hydro.

Taxpayers' Union Spokesman, Jordan Williams, said:

"We've long argued against green energy subsidies and in favour of clearing the path of regulatory impediments to solar."

"On a per capita basis, New Zealand's domestic solar penetration is the lowest of the OECD club of countries.  It says a lot that even many sector participants have been telling the Government and local councils to get out of the way, rather than market distorting corporate welfare."
