TAS Feed In Tariff Information
Last Updated: 27th Jul 2026
Tasmania has a regulated minimum solar feed-in tariff. For the 2026-27 financial year, it is 9.276c per kWh. This is generous compared to typical feed-in tariffs on the mainland, but it’s possible to do even better, as a couple of Tasmanian retailers offer moderately higher feed-in tariffs.
You can check available electricity plans by entering your postcode into the SolarQuotes Retailer Comparison Page. This allows you to compare plans by feed-in tariff, electricity rates, and daily supply charge.
Normally, if you have solar, it makes sense to get the plan with the highest solar feed-in tariff. But because plans can differ in rates and daily supply charges, it is still a go

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 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.
