Isolated Solar Power Scheme

Help for primary producers to install solar pumps.

It may be a shock to city people, that not everyone in Queensland is connected to the electricity grid.

Many properties in rural Queensland rely on diesel to run generators to run their homes and farms.

This is expensive and is why KAP wants to introduce a scheme for grants and subsidised loans for primary producers to install solar pumps for irrigation and stock watering, as well as rooftop solar for homes and workshops. This initiative will be targeted at properties not currently connected to the electricity grid, to offset the high cost of diesel.
