\"NSW<\/p>\n

New South Wales’ Independent Pricing and Regulatory Tribunal (IPART) has released guidance on solar feed in tariff rates for 2019\/20.<\/p>\n

In New South Wales, electricity retailers aren’t compelled to offer a solar feed-in tariff<\/a>, but IPART sets a benchmark range each year.<\/p>\n

For 2019\/20, IPART has increased the range from 6.9c – 8.4c per kilowatt hour in 2018\/19<\/a> to 8.5c – 10.4c for the “all day rate”; that is, for electricity generated at any time of the day.<\/p>\n

Here’s how the benchmark all day range compares to previous years.<\/p>\n

While the above also indicates quite a few electricity retailers have been offering over and above IPART’s recommended range this year, it’s good to bear in mind that a higher feed- in tariff doesn’t necessarily mean the best overall deal. Solar power system owners should carefully compare electricity deals<\/a> and take note of the fine print.<\/p>\n

Time Dependent Feed In Tariff Benchmarks<\/h2>\n

Also provided are ranges for another solar feed-in tariff option retailers can provide – “time dependent” feed in tariffs, which are based on the time of day the electricity is exported.<\/p>\n

For 2019\/20, the time dependent rates are as follows.<\/p>\n
