The NT&#8217;s Concession Scheme and Community Service Obligation (CSO) takes much of the sting out of bills.\u00a0 Without the CSO, an average household in Darwin would be paying close to 50% more, and even more in regional and remote areas.<\/p>\n<p>In 2025\u201326, the CLP Government will boost funding for the CSO by $51 million, spending $192 million to subsidise power prices.<\/p>\n<p>As for the reforms, the first phase will roll out on July 1, 2025. For household and small business customers, the only change aside from the electricity price increase is the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.solarquotes.com.au\/systems\/feed-in-tariffs\/nt\/\">Northern Territory&#8217;s solar feed in tariff <\/a>will double from 9.33 cents per kilowatt- hour (kWh) to 18.66c\/kWh; but only for energy exported to the grid between the hours of 3pm and 9pm.<\/p>\n<p>The second phase kicks in on January 1, 2026:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>For household supply, the first 55 kWh per day will be charged at the normal household rate. Consumption above that will be charged at a rate equal to that of small businesses, which is currently about 4.8c\/kWh more expensive for customers with a standard (i.e. non-pre-payment) meter<sup class='endnote'><a href='https:\/\/www.solarquotes.com.au\/blog\/nt-electricity-reforms-mb3213\/#en-92826-1' id='enref-92826-1' onclick='return hhEndnotes_show(92826)'>1<\/a><\/sup>.<\/li>\n<li>New time-of-use electricity plans will be available for households and small businesses (details not provided).<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>And the third-phase commences July 1, 2026; but there doesn&#8217;t appear to be anything in that affecting households and small business customers.<\/p>\n<p>Commenting on the changes, Treasurer <a href=\"https:\/\/createsend.com\/t\/t-29BB5C9B9EB4BB942540EF23F30FEDED\"> Bill Yan said<\/a>:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>&#8220;These reforms are about long-term sustainability, keeping costs low where it matters most, while ensuring we can continue to subsidise electricity for Territorians in a fair and responsible way.&#8221;<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<h2>Home Solar Power (And Batteries) In The NT<\/h2>\n<p>While blessed with bountiful solar energy resources, the Northern Territory lags behind most other jurisdictions on home solar panel uptake. According to the Australian PV Institute (<a href=\"https:\/\/pv-map.apvi.org.au\/historical\">APVI<\/a>), around 30.7% of detached\/semi-detached houses have had solar installed.

Starting from the beginning of December 2024, eligible homeowners and businesses could access a grant of $400 per kilowatt hour of useable battery system capacity, up to a maximum grant of $12,000. But it didn&#8217;t last long &#8211; the Home and Business Battery Scheme (HBBS) recently reached its $6 million funding allocation and closed to new grants. At this point, the number of installations under the program haven&#8217;t been revealed.<\/p>\n<p>However, NT solar owners can take advantage of the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.solarquotes.com.au\/battery-storage\/federal-rebate\/\">federal battery rebate<\/a> that kicks off next week; providing a maximum of $372 per kilowatt-hour (kWh) of usable battery capacity in 2025. This will work out to *approximately* $330\/kWh after administrative fees and charges.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Northern Territory&#8217;s Country Liberal Party (CLP) Government has announced a three-phase (no pun intended) reform of NT electricity pricing, including a solar feed-in tariff boost from next week.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":17,"featured_media":92827,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[678],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-92826","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-solar-battery-news","entry"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v27.2 (Yoast SEO v27.2) - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-premium-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Northern Territory Electricity Pricing Reforms Revealed<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"The Northern Territory Government has announced reforms to electricity pricing, including a solar feed-in tariff boost from next week.\" \/>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/www.solarquotes.com.au\/blog\/nt-electricity-reforms-mb3213\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"Northern Territory Electricity Pricing Reforms Revealed\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"The Northern Territory Government has announced reforms to electricity pricing, including a solar feed-in tariff boost from next week.\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:url\" content=\"https:\/\/www.solarquotes.com.au\/blog\/nt-electricity-reforms-mb3213\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:site_name\" content=\"SolarQuotes Blog\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:publisher\" content=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/SolarQuotes\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:published_time\" content=\"2025-06-26T19:22:36+00:00\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:image\" content=\"https:\/\/www.solarquotes.com.au\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/nt-electricity-pricing.jpg\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:width\" content=\"1200\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:height\" content=\"630\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:type\" content=\"image\/jpeg\" \/>\n<meta name=\"author\" content=\"Michael Bloch\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:card\" content=\"summary_large_image\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:creator\" content=\"@solar_quotes\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:site\" content=\"@solar_quotes\" \/>\n<script type=\"application\/ld+json\" class=\"yoast-schema-graph\">{\"@context\":\"https:\/\/schema.org\",\"@graph\":[{\"@type\":\"Article\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/www.solarquotes.com.au\/blog\/nt-electricity-reforms-mb3213\/#article\",\"isPartOf\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/www.solarquotes.com.au\/blog\/nt-electricity-reforms-mb3213\/\"},\"author\":{\"name\":\"Michael Bloch\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/www.solarquotes.com.au\/blog\/#\/schema\/person\/66afd571aa00c2e442f0192ebac2f6f1\"},\"headline\":\"Northern Territory Electricity Pricing Reforms Revealed\",\"datePublished\":\"2025-06-26T19:22:36+00:00\",\"mainEntityOfPage\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/www.solarquotes.com.au\/blog\/nt-electricity-reforms-mb3213\/\"},\"wordCount\":692,\"commentCount\":0,\"publisher\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/www.solarquotes.com.au\/blog\/#organization\"},\"image\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/www.solarquotes.com.au\/blog\/nt-electricity-reforms-mb3213\/#primaryimage\"},\"thumbnailUrl\":\"https:\/\/www.solarquotes.com.au\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/nt-electricity-pricing.jpg\",\"articleSection\":[\"General Solar &amp;
