Feed in tariffs for new applicants:
New feed-in tariff arrangements are available to all eligible customers from 1 January 2013. The feed-in tariff currently offers a minimum of 8 cents per kilowatt hour for excess electricity fed back into the grid. Some electricity retailers may offer a higher rate but are not obligated to do so. Additional low-emissions technologies will also be made eligible under this scheme from mid-2013. Further information on the future eligible low-emissions technology systems available under the feed-in tariff will be updated on this website.
The rate for the feed-in tariff will be reviewed and updated annually until 2016 by the Essential Services Commission. The 8 cents per kilowatt hour rate is based on the adjusted wholesale price of electricity. The new feed-in tariff arrangements provide a basis for continued growth in the solar and other renewable energy industries while avoiding placing undue cost pressures on all Victorian electricity customers.
