Frequently asked questions

What feed-in tariff will I get in TAS?
The government-set rate in the table above — your retailer applies it automatically to exported solar.
Is there a government minimum?
Yes — Regulator-approved Aurora Energy rate (OTTER).
Which retailer pays the most?
The rate is set by the regulator here, so retailers don't compete on it.
Why did feed-in tariffs drop?
Rooftop solar floods the grid at midday, pushing wholesale prices toward (and sometimes below) zero exactly when exports happen — so the energy's market value keeps falling. That's also why evening-window rates pay several times the all-day rate, and why self-consuming your solar beats exporting it. See is solar still worth it in TAS?
