TAS Feed In Tariff Information
Last Updated: 1st Sep 2025
Tasmania has a regulated minimum solar feed-in tariff. For the previous two financial years it was:
- 2023-24 10.869c/kWh
- 2024-25 8.935c/kWh
For the 2025-26 financial year, it has been set at 8.782c/kWh.
While electricity retailers can offer more than this if they wish, they’re not allowed to offer less. While the feed-in tariff has declined over the past few years, it’s still better than what many people on the mainland receive.

One Sligher Higher Feed-In Tariff Available
Most electricity retailers pay the minimum feed-in tariff of 8.782c. But two retailers provide more:
- Solstice: 10c
- CovaU: 8.9c
While they offer a higher feed-in rate than other retailers, it’s still important to check that it’s the best plan available for your circumstances.
Historical Info
Tasmanians who purchased a solar power system before 30th August 2013 were eligible to receive a 1:1 feed-in tariff guaranteed until 31 December 2019. This was to reward early adopters of PV in Tasmania, as solar panels and other components cost far more than than they do now.
One of the 2018 election commitments of the Hodgman Government was to review Tasmania’s solar feed-in tariffs, with view to new arrangements being in place from January 2019. The review began in July 2018 and was completed in November 2018.
For those on the 1:1 Premium Transitional FiT, they were switched to what was then the standard current rate of 8.541 c/kWh, plus received an extra 5 c/kWh – 13.541 c/kWh all told. This arrangement stayed in place until December 31, 2019, after which time just the standard rate applied.
Shopping around for better electricity tariffs in Tasmania
Electricity retailer choice has increased in Tasmania over the past few years. There are now at least five electricity retailers, including Aurora Energy, Energy Locals, Solstice Energy and 1st Energy. The latter is unusually named, given it was the second retailer in the state, but maybe they were hoping no one would notice that Tasmania had electricity before they started operating there in February 2019.
