This is the type of feed in tariff most Victorian solar households would be on.<\/p>\n<p>The reason given for the increase:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>\u201cThe feed-in tariff is based on forecast wholesale electricity prices in the futures market which rose between the draft decision and this final decision,\u201d said the ESC&#8217;s Aaron Yuen.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<h2>Time-Varying Rate Changes<\/h2>\n<p>For time-varying feed in tariffs post-June 30, it&#8217;s a mixed bag. These rates are set for different periods of the day and are meant to better reflect the wholesale cost of electricity at the time it is exported into the mains grid. Electricity retailers aren&#8217;t compelled to offer a time-varying option as yet and its looking like they won&#8217;t be. Retailers can offer a single rate, time-varying rate or a choice between the two.<\/p>\n<p>The ESC wasn&#8217;t so keen to point out in its <a href=\"https:\/\/www.esc.vic.gov.au\/media-centre\/boost-solar-homeowners-minimum-feed-tariff-rising\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">media release<\/a> is that the minimum peak time-varying tariff rate will drop substantially &#8211; however, rates for the other two periods will increase. The following shows the different rates and comparison between the current situation and post-June 30.<\/p>\n<div style=\"padding-bottom: 20px;\">\n<table style=\"font-family: helvetica; font-size: 16px; border-collapse: collapse; background-color: #e7e7e7; border: 1px solid #000; padding: 5px; margin-bottom: 20px; margin: auto;\" border=\"0\" cellspacing=\"0\" cellpadding=\"5\">\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"border-collapse: collapse; border: 1px solid #000; padding: 5px;\"><strong>Period<\/strong><\/td>\n<td style=\"border-collapse: collapse; border: 1px solid #000; padding: 5px;\"><strong>Weekday<\/strong><\/td>\n<td style=\"border-collapse: collapse; border: 1px solid #000; padding: 5px;\"><strong>Weekend<\/strong><\/td>\n<td style=\"border-collapse: collapse; border: 1px solid #000; padding: 5px;\"><strong>2018\/19<br \/>\nc\/kWh<\/strong><\/td>\n<td style=\"border-collapse: collapse; border: 1px solid #000; padding: 5px;\"><strong>2019\/20<br \/>\nc\/kWh<\/strong><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"border-collapse: collapse; border: 1px solid #000; padding: 5px;\">Off peak<\/td>\n<td style=\"border-collapse: collapse; border: 1px solid #000; padding: 5px;\">10pm-7am<\/td>\n<td style=\"border-collapse: collapse; border: 1px solid #000; padding: 5px;\">10pm-7am<\/td>\n<td style=\"border-collapse: collapse; border: 1px solid #000; padding: 5px;\">7.1c<\/td>\n<td style=\"border-collapse: collapse; border: 1px solid #000; padding: 5px;\">9.9c<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"border-collapse: collapse; border: 1px solid #000; padding: 5px;\">Shoulder<\/td>\n<td style=\"border-collapse: collapse; border: 1px solid #000; padding: 5px;\">7am- 3pm<br \/>\n9pm-10pm<\/td>\n<td style=\"border-collapse: collapse; border: 1px solid #000; padding: 5px;\">7am-10pm<\/td>\n<td style=\"border-collapse: collapse; border: 1px solid #000; padding: 5px;\">10.3c<\/td>\n<td style=\"border-collapse: collapse; border: 1px solid #000; padding: 5px;\">11.6c<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"border-collapse: collapse; border: 1px solid #000; padding: 5px;\">Peak<\/td>\n<td style=\"border-collapse: collapse; border: 1px solid #000; padding: 5px;\">3pm-9pm<\/td>\n<td style=\"border-collapse: collapse; border: 1px solid #000; padding: 5px;\">n\/a<\/td>\n<td style=\"border-collapse: collapse; border: 1px solid #000; padding: 5px;\">29.0c<\/td>\n<td style=\"border-collapse: collapse; border: 1px solid #000; padding: 5px;\">14.6c<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<\/div>\n<p>Under a time-varying arrangement, most of the electricity exported by a solar power system will receive the shoulder rate of 11.6 cents &#8211; an increase of 1.3c per kilowatt-hour.
