The announcements come as part of the party's wider business and economic strategy for the sector.
ExplainerWhy this matters
What Happened
The ACT party has announced a policy shift to prevent the breakup of state-owned power companies and increase competition in the solar energy market.
Why It Matters
Energy policies directly affect household power bills and the stability of the national grid. Keeping companies together while opening up solar options can change how consumers buy electricity and how much they pay.
What Happens Next
It remains to be seen how other political parties will respond to these proposals and whether these policies will be adopted into future legislation or coalition talks.
