The ad will run in regional Queensland and regional Victoria in the lead up to State elections, and on Sky News, according to the Australian Solar Council.

Australian Solar Council CEO John Grimes said, “Voters going to the polls in Victoria and Queensland should be aware where the parties stand on support for solar.

“Governments should be making it easier, not harder, for families to drastically cut their power bills.”

“By abolishing or cutting the Renewable Energy Target, the Government will be locking millions of Australian families into every spiralling power bills.” The TV ads complement the Australian Solar Council’s Save Solar Forums, which are being run in marginal seats across Australia.

The next Save Solar Forum will be held in the seat of Barton in Sydney on 17 September, and will be attended by Opposition Leader, Bill Shorten; Shadow Environment Minister, Mark Butler; and Greens Leader, Senator Christine Milne.
