Our bill for $2787 shows that we get a government subsidy for electricity which probably explains why the country is in such a mess.
Then further down the bill in the red box it shows the subsidy as being $3748, so does that mean that without the subsidy out total would be $6535?
I find these bills a little confusing 
In Vermont, USA many homes homes now have virtual power plants using batteries and never have black-outs any more. It looks very clever!
The biggest problem here with the electricity supply is the number of poles and wires they have....they're everywhere!! Hardly a week goes by without outages caused by wires being brought down either by the weather or high sided lorries being driven on roads they shouldn't be on. The missus says the lorry driver union rules here so bugger all gets done about it. 
Sounds like a great idea, and far more reasonable than the nearly $20,000 USD we just spent for a generator, after years of strong storms causing power outages.
