"The Bligh Government has commenced its election commitment to provide 200,000 Queensland households with affordable solar hot water systems in a bid to radically cut household energy use and greenhouse gas emissions. Premier Anna Bligh said the government was encouraging every Queenslander who wanted to take part in the Scheme to register their interest at the same time of the commencement of the tender process to locate local suppliers and installers. Ms Bligh said the Queensland Solar Hot Water Program would result in a rollout of 200,000 affordable solar hot water and heat pump systems which will cut the average household’s annual electricity costs by up to $300."
