Energy Minister Stephen Robertson has urged Queenslanders to report any incidences of misrepresentation of the Government’s Solar Hot Water Program.
Mr Robertson said the Office of Clean Energy (OCE) had received reports that people who registered their interest in the program have been telephoned and wrongly told that the program’s 200,000 solar or heat pump hot water systems had already been allocated.
“This is wrong and I want to make it clear to all Queenslanders that our program hasn’t begun yet. That means there are 200,000 systems yet to be installed from July 1 onwards,” Mr Robertson said.
Mr Robertson said the Office of Clean Energy had not authorised anyone to contact the people who had already registered for program information.
“I urge people to report these incidences to the program Hotline on 1800-243-585 so we can investigate further.”
Mr Robertson said the Office of Clean Energy will continue seeking registrations of interest from Queenslanders who want more program information.
“People can call the program Hotline weekdays between 8am and 5pm and register their contact details to receive authorised, written updates about the program or register online at the Office of Clean Energy website at www.cleanenergy.qld.gov.au to get more program information.
