The ‘solar gardeners’, who mostly live in cities hours away, are getting returns of $505, possibly higher, locked in for the next decade, depending on the electricity market
The returns are credited directly to their electricity bills.
So a non refundable return of over 10% with an expected break even at year 10. Hmm, that’s not a good investment. Also I adds no value to your property.
I’m gonna call it, the farmer put up $100k in solar and sold it for $200k with a dividend plan for what it produces.
The name means “very bad camping ground” in the local Wiradjuri language. I don’t speak the language, but from what little I know of first nations languages I’m guessing a singular “grong” would be “bad camping ground” and duplicating it as “grong grong” makes it “very bad”.
So yeah, intentionally displeasing. It has reliable water where two creeks join and become one larger creek, which meant it was a place you could camp if you were on your way to somewhere else and needed to stop, but otherwise it’s not somewhere you wanted to be.
White people established a town there because it was a good place to access water for steam trains - which needed to stop every 10 to 50km to fill up their water tanks.
