ENERGY NEEDS TO BE AFFORDABLE AND RELIABLE FOR QUEENSLAND HORTICULTURE PRODUCERS.
Queensland Fruit & Vegetable growers supports an energy system that is affordable, reliable and sustainable. Increasing electricity costs are a concern for producers and there is a need for sound policy and proven technologies that advance farm-scale renewable energy as part of integrated regional energy supply and demand management solutions.
Queensland Fruit & Vegetable Growers advocates for:
Removing the burden of high electricity costs on farmers.
Sound policy and proven technologies that advance farm-scale renewable energy as part of integrated regional energy supply and demand management solutions, thereby leveraging existing distribution assets; and addressing issues arising from the lack of retail competition.
