Advertisement Thousands of Victorian homeowners having solar power installed are being told by the stateâs distributors they will not be able to feed electricity into the network, as a rising tide of sustainable power hits the energy grid. The block on new solar power feeding into Victoriaâs grid comes despite a decade of warnings by regulators to the stateâs power distributors they need to spend money on upgrading their networks. Matt Pilsbury switched on his new $8200 solar system. But he, like thousands of others across Melbourne, are being told by energy distributors they will not get a cent for any excess power provided to the energy network.
