To help guide retailers and customers, IPART annually recommends a benchmark range for these tariffs based on the financial value of solar electricity.
This fact sheet briefly explains our draft findings and recommendations in relation to a fair and reasonable solar feed-in tariff, and discusses how an unsubsidised feed-in tariff should be implemented in NSW.
Frontier Economics has been engaged by IPART to provide expert advice to ensure that the methodology used to determine the solar feed-in tariff benchmark range over the next three years is robust.
IPART has set a draft all-day benchmark range of 7.5 c/kWh. We have also set time-dependent feed-in tariff benchmark ranges that are different for different times of the day.
