Electrical Safety and Other Legislation Amendment Bill 2025
This bill strengthens Queensland's electrical safety laws by giving the regulator clearer, more accountable powers to ban unsafe electrical equipment and by confirming that electricity distributors can legally issue defect notices for unsafe equipment found at properties. It also removes an uncommenced workplace health and safety provision before it takes effect.
Electricity and Other Legislation (Batteries and Premium Feed-in Tariff) Amendment Bill 2017
This bill would have tightened the rules for Queensland's Solar Bonus Scheme, which pays a premium 44c/kWh feed-in tariff to over 280,000 homes and small businesses with eligible solar panels. It spelled out when adding a battery or extra solar would cause a customer to lose that tariff, and it also opened up retail electricity competition for customers in embedded networks like apartment buildings. The bill lapsed when Parliament was dissolved and did not become law.
Electricity and Other Legislation (Batteries and Premium Feed-in Tariff) Amendment Bill 2018
This bill sets clear rules for Queensland's 240,000 Solar Bonus Scheme customers on how they can install batteries and extra solar panels without losing their 44c/kWh feed-in tariff. It also opens up retail competition for customers in embedded electricity networks and lets regional Queensland households and small businesses switch back to Ergon Retail.
