Feed In Tariffs

Encourage PV Solar

Panels On Homes

 

"A Feed-in Tariff (FiT, FiL, Feed-in Law or solar premium[1]) is an incentive structure that boosts the adoption of renewable energy through government legislation. The regional or national electricity utilities are obligated to buy renewable electricity (electricity generated from renewable sources such as solar photovoltaics, wind power, biomass, and geothermal power) at above market rates."- Wikipedia definition of Feed-In Tariff

Feed In Tariffs offer one of the most useful ways of encouraging homeowners to instal photovoltaic solar panels on their homes.

Feed In Tariffs are a mechanism by which owners of grid- connect photovoltaic solar power systems are paid MORE than the retail price for any excess electricity production that is fed back into the grid.

Feed In Tariffs have been a huge success in Germany ans Spain, and operate in over 40 jurisdictions around the world. See some examples of Feed In Tariffs around the globe.

The South Australian Government has adopted a Feed In Tariff which will pay the consumer DOUBLE the retail price for electricty they fed back to the grid.

The Queensland Government's Climate Change Strategy 2007, 'ClimateSmart 2050' proposes introduce a Feed-In tariff for Queensland. See P.20.

The ACT Government has included a feed-in tariff in its new Climate Change Strategy. Labor MLA Mick Gentleman has introduced a Private Member's Bill into the ACT Legislative Assembly to create a Feed In Tariff for Canberra which would give a huge boost to PV take-up in one of the sunniest cities in Australia. "This offsets the cost of installing the PV panels on the roof and encourages people to generate clean energy", said Mr Gentleman.

The ACT Greens' Deb Foskey MLA has announced in-principle support for the proposed ACT Feed In Tariff Bill. "Feed-in laws, which guarantee a good price to producers of electricity from rooftop solar panels, are the single most successful measure a government can take to increase the take-up of solar power", she said.

In 2007, we contacted the Office of the former Leader of The Opposition, Bill Stefaniak MLA, enquiring as to the Liberal Party's attitude to the proposed Feed In Tariff Bill. It's 2008, and we have had no response. It would be wonderful to have all-party support for the Bill. We will keep you posted!

Canberra residents may like to contact their local Member, and encourage them to support the proposed Bill. Their contact details can be found here.
