Solar customers

Solar feed-in tariffs (FiTs) are a way of encouraging the uptake of solar photovoltaic (PV) systems.

Solar feed-in tariffs vary depending on the state you live in.

In Victoria and New South Wales, feed-in tariffs are based on a net tariff basis. A net tariff means that you may receive a FiT when excess electricity generated by the solar PV system is exported to the electricity grid.

Victoria

In Victoria, if you are a small customer with a solar PV system there are two solar feed-in tariff schemes: a premium feed-in tariff (PFiT) and a retailer feed-in tariff (RFiT) scheme.

Premium feed-in tariff (PFiT)

The PFiT is closed to new customers.

If you already have a PFiT agreement in place with another retailer you can switch retailers and continue to receive a PFiT rate of 60 cents/kWh. You will need to enter into a new PFiT agreement with us for this to happen.

Feed-in tariff (FiT)

If you have recently installed a solar PV system you can apply to receive the feed-in tariff (FiT). Our FiT rate is currently 10.2 cents/kWh, this rate is subject to change.

New South Wales

Feed-in tariff (FiT)

If you have recently installed a solar PV system you can apply to receive the feed-in tariff (FiT). Our FiT rate is currently 5.5 cents/kWh, this rate is subject to change. Please note, this is only available for NET metered solar installations.
