Australia has a new plan for electricity.
The plan gives people three hours of free power every day.
It is for houses that do not have solar panels.
This program is called Solar Sharer and started in July.
Many families in Australia can now choose this deal.
But experts say that the deal has an expensive catch.
The price for power is much higher when it is not free.
Other fixed charges are also more expensive than before.
Therefore, the total bill can be very large.
People must read the contract carefully before they sign.
