I shared a link with actual cost of electricity in australia which is around 12-16/unit. You provided me your memories.  Also grid level electricity storage (or any electricity storage) is not cheap. That is the reason they are giving out free electricity. Otherwise they would have stored it and charged. You are right - Australia is not India. They don't go around giving free electricity to farmers, poor people, first 300 units at subsidy etc. Australia had a white only immigration policy till the mid 60's - very unlike India. The aboriginal culture and people were completely destroyed - unlike India.  > Australia govt isn't Indian to "recover" it later in the year Confidently incorrect. They are literally saying the opposite. Total cost will increase, cost will be recovered at other times etc >  Solar Sharer is not necessarily the best or cheapest energy plan available. The scheme is part of the default market offer framework, which means it acts more like a benchmark price rather than a competitive plan. Plus, retailers may charge higher rates for electricity outside the free power window to recoup their costs. > Energy Consumers Australia (ECA) is supportive of the scheme, but says governments and retailers must clearly explain the trade-offs to customers – between free energy in the middle of the day and higher prices at other times. > “We don’t want to have people signing up to these plans assuming it will decrease their bills, when in fact it could do the opposite,” the consumer advocacy group says. https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2026/jun/30/solar-sharer-offer-sso-three-free-hours-electricity-power-energy-australia Also it is apparent that Australia has private sector discoms.  It costs money to install solar which needs to be recovered via tariff. No free lunch. Musk says a lot of things like driverless cars, hyperloop, boring company in Vegas (instead of light rail) etc. most won't see the light of the day.
