I can see where it will end up.
Consumers are terrified at the moment, panicking and going into debt to get solar panels installed.
More consumers will be generating power via solar or whatever.
The feed in tariff will disappear resulting in electricity retailers getting electricity off customers at no cost.
They will drop the price/kw to a level that is considered reasonable then increase the service charges (daily rate) & introduce infrastructure charges.
That way, your usage will cost will be modest and "other fees & services" will spiral.
Even if a consumer reduces their usage significantly, the savings will be minimal.
Just like water companies, usage $40 admin fees $300.
