South Australian households have complained of declining returns on solar energy they contribute to the grid, with electricity regulators saying it has “no value” in the market.
Key points:
Some energy companies offer less than 4c/kW for energy fed back to the grid
SA minimum feed-in rate ends in 2017
Some consumers are investigating options for investing in solar battery systems to save money

The first household to install a solar panel is priced at a feed-in rate of 44 cents per kilowatt, which significantly reduces the quarterly bill.

ESCOSA chief executive Adam Wilson said having tariffs regulated stopped people from getting the best deal.

Success in badminton runs through the family of Rudy Jean Rigg. Rudy—who is transgender, non-binary and uses the pronouns they/he—is excellent even reaching state level. Rudy’s grandmother, Jean Tyrrel, is believed to have started Australia’s first badminton school. “It kind of started, like most things, rather informally,” they said. Their mother, Michelle Rigg, was a three-time junior national champion and later junior national coach. And their sister? Junior national doubles champion. While Melbourne-based Rudy used to play the sport, they don’t anymore. “No, I haven’t really played but I want to get back to playing,” they said. The reasons why are being explored in Rudy’s TikTok documentary series, Transathletica, which looks at the unique barriers transgender and gender-diverse people face to participate in sports. Journalist Narelda Jacobs said Sydney WorldPride 2023 would be a “tremendous opportunity”. ( Provided...
