n NSW, retailers can choose whether or not to offer solar feed‑in tariffs to their customers, and decide the level of the solar feed‑in tariff that they offer.
IPART set a solar feed-in tariff benchmark of 4.6 to 5.5 c/kWh for 2021‑22. This is a guide for customers about how much they can expect to receive from their retail for their excess solar electricity that is fed into the grid.
This final report explains our final recommendations and findings in relation to the fair and reasonable value for electricity generated by small-scale solar PV units in NSW.
When the Solar Bonus Scheme (SBS) ends on 31 December 2016, SBS customers will stop receiving a subsidised feed-in tariff of either 60 cents or 20 cents per kWh for the electricity they export.
This determination sets out our final decisions on the benchmark feed-in tariff range in 2015-16 and the retailer contribution to the costs of the Solar Bonus Scheme from 15 November 2015.
