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.
ORER 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.

The Government will be mandating a net FiT for systems up to 3 kilowatts paid at a rate equal to the normal purchase price of electricity to standard Aurora customers.
In the meantime, Aurora customers may apply for the Aurora Energy Net Metering Buyback Scheme, which credits householders for energy generated by their small-scale system and fed into the grid.
