Can Canberrans access free power under the federal government's proposed Solar Sharer scheme?

Because the federal government's proposed Solar Sharer scheme has been launched to apply to the Australian Energy Regulator, which doesn't cover the ACT, it won't be offered in the nation's capital.
Strange that the ACT doesn't run under the same umbrella as NSW, I guess it just wanted to be different again. At least Victoria has a significant amount of its own power generation so being separate makes a little more sense - while the ACT does have a reasonable amount of solar power (solar farms as well as rooftop) it's still dependent on the NSW grid for supply.
