\"\" Australia has so many solar panels now, they’re giving away electricity for free.<\/p>\n

They don’t want to waste any. So starting next year, millions of Australians will get three hours of free electricity per day. You don’t even have to have solar panels on your house.<\/p>\n

The Australian government has announced that electricity customers in three states will get free electricity for up to three hours per day starting in July 2026. Although the government hasn\u2019t said which hours in the middle of the day will qualify, the hours between 11 a.m. and 2 p.m. are the most likely candidates. Customers will have to opt in to the new plan.<\/p>\n
