But each year IPART sets benchmark ranges that act a guide for system owners as to what they might be paid for the surplus solar electricity they export to the grid.<\/p>\n<p>For the current financial year, the guidance for flat rate <a href=\"https:\/\/www.solarquotes.com.au\/systems\/feed-in-tariffs\/nsw\/\">feed-in tariffs in NSW<\/a> is 4.9 to 6.3 cents per kilowatt-hour (kWh).<\/p>\n<p>For 2025\/26, the guidance is 4.8c to 7.3 c\/kWh. According to IPART, the increase on the high end of the benchmark range reflects that wholesale prices are expected to be a little more over the 2025-26 financial year at times solar power systems are exporting to the grid.<\/p>\n<p>IPART has also published time-of-day solar feed-in tariff benchmark ranges for 2025\/26. Very few retailers offer this option, but you can see the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ipart.nsw.gov.au\/documents\/fact-sheet\/fact-sheet-time-day-solar-feed-tariff-benchmarks-2025-26-may-2025\">IPART guidance for those rates here<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Feed-in tariff rates are always much lower than the retail price of electricity as retailers have to recoup a number of costs, such as:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>network charges for using the grid.<\/li>\n<li>payments for environmental programs.<\/li>\n<li>operating costs such as billing services and running call centres.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>And of course, a margin for profit.<\/p>\n<p>When solar power systems are exporting to the grid during the day, the wholesale cost of electricity is often much lower; putting downward pressure on feed-in tariffs. Negative electricity prices in New South Wales are also becoming increasingly frequent due to a rise in renewable energy generation.<\/p>\n<p>But when the sun isn&#8217;t shining and the wind isn&#8217;t blowing, wholesale electricity prices shoot up and this is (part of) the reason why retail electricity prices remain stubbornly high while feed-in tariffs remain comparatively low. In the case of NSW, cost increases associated with the state&#8217;s Electricity Infrastructure Roadmap and higher transmission costs have also contributed to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.solarquotes.com.au\/blog\/electricity-price-rises-revealed\/\">upcoming electricity price increases<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Rather than feed-in tariff income, the real value in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.solarquotes.com.au\/solar101.html\">installing a solar power system<\/a> these days is maximising solar energy self-consumption to avoid paying high mains grid rates \u2014 and it has been this way for some years.<\/p>\n<h2>Boost Self-Consumption With A Solar Battery<\/h2>\n<p>A way to increase solar energy self-consumption is to store surplus in a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.solarquotes.com.au\/battery-storage\/comparison-table\/\">home battery<\/a> for use in the evenings, overnight and during poor solar electricity generation conditions.<\/p>\n<p>While higher feed-in tariffs increase <a href=\"https:\/\/www.solarquotes.com.au\/battery-storage\/payback\/\">home battery payback<\/a>, given NSW solar owners *should* be able to benefit from *two* generous incentives on an eligible battery (the current <a href=\"https:\/\/www.solarquotes.com.au\/battery-storage\/nsw-rebate\/\">NSW battery rebate<\/a> and upcoming <a href=\"https:\/\/www.solarquotes.com.au\/battery-storage\/federal-rebate\/\">federal government rebate<\/a>); and even <a href=\"https:\/\/www.solarquotes.com.au\/battery-storage\/vpp-comparison\/\">join a VPP<\/a> if they wish, any small feed-in tariff increase (should it happen) will have little effect.<\/p>\n<p>Just on the &#8216;stackability&#8217; of the NSW and federal battery rebates; the last we heard was the New South Wales Government <a href=\"https:\/\/www.solarquotes.com.au\/blog\/fixing-battery-rebates-nsw\/\">was still working on it<\/a> and other gremlins in the Peak Demand Reduction Scheme (PDRS) in relation to home energy storage. With just 4 weeks to go until the federal rebate drops, here&#8217;s hoping that&#8217;s all sorted *very* soon.<\/p>\n<h2>The Best Electricity Plans For NSW Solar Owners<\/h2>\n<p>As mentioned, electricity retailers in New South Wales aren&#8217;t required to offer rates within IPART&#8217;s guidance range, or anything at all &#8211; but most do. Using the SolarQuotes <a href=\"https:\/\/www.solarquotes.com.au\/energy\/\">electricity plan comparison tool<\/a> and inputting the postcode 2000 (Sydney), it shows while a substantial number of plans offer less than IPART&#8217;s 2024\/25 lower benchmark, quite a few are offering 5c and some even more. One retailer is offering 12 c\/kWh, but has high consumption rates and there may be other devil in the detail.<\/p>\n<p>That&#8217;s part of the trick for solar owners in choosing the best electricity plan. Ideally, it should be a balance of reasonable feed-in-tariffs, usage tariffs and daily charges without tricky conditions attached. And solar owners are usually better off with simple, fixed consumption tariffs; while solar and battery owners should take a look at time-of-use tariffs with lower off-peak and shoulder rates.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>New South Wales&#8217;
