Feed-in tariffs – selling renewable electricity to your retailer

A feed-in tariff pays you for electricity generated and fed into the main grid by your small-scale solar panel, wind or hydro system.  It does not apply to off-grid systems.

The Clean Energy Regulator does not administer feed-in tariffs and cannot answer questions about applying for a feed-in tariff.  However, the following information may be helpful to start your research.

• You will need to apply to your electricity retailer to receive the feed-in tariff. Please contact your electricity retailer directly for information regarding the application.
• The Clean Energy Council’s Consumer Guide to buying household solar panels outlines some important questions to ask your electricity retailer about your feed-in tariff agreement.
• Your state government sets and administers feed-in tariffs. Contact your state government regarding the current feed-in tariff in your state.
