Feed-in Tariffs

Residential Feed-in Tariffs in Australia

Feed-in tariffs in Australia are a complex landscape due to the fact that every state has its own legislation. Furthermore the existing feed-in tariffs are bound to frequent changes. So far, most feed-in tariffs are on a NET basis, i.e. only the surplus electricity that is generated and exported back to the grid will be remunerated. At the moment, Queensland has the most generous feed-in tariff scheme in place.

Commercial Feed-in Tariffs in Australia

Victoria has a commercial feed-in tariff system where electricity exports are remunerated on a one-to-one basis. ACT is working on a scheme as well.
Western Australia has no commercial feed-in tariff yet, however different rules apply in the Horizon Power network in the rural areas e.g. around Broome or Esperance.
