Industry Body Seeks Extension of ISTS Charges Waiver

Imagine companies building solar and wind farms.

To send the electricity to homes, they usually pay extra fees called ISTS charges.

The government had said these fees would be waived until June 2025.

Now, some projects are running late due to problems like land issues.

The main industry group wants to extend the waiver, so projects already close to being finished can still benefit.

They're also suggesting the fees be removed slowly instead of all at once to make sure the energy remains affordable.
