To help retailers in setting their solar feed-in tariffs and solar customers in deciding whether these tariffs are reasonable, we have set draft solar feed-in tariff benchmarks to provide guidance on the financial value of electricity exported by
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.
The Premier of New South Wales has asked IPART to undertake an investigation into solar feed-in tariffs. The investigation will establish a fair and reasonable value for electricity generated by small scale solar photovoltaic systems.
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 determination sets out our decisions on the benchmark feed-in tariff range and the retailer contribution to the costs of the Solar Bonus Scheme in 2012/13
