The NSW Government asked the Independent Pricing and Regulatory Tribunal (IPART) to review and recommend the voluntary benchmark range for solar feed-in tariffs for the year from 1 July 2017.
The final recommended benchmark range for solar feed-in tariffs in 2017-18 is 11.9 to 15.0 cents per kilowatt hour (c/kWh). This is slightly higher than our draft recommendation in May (11.6 to 14.6 c/kWh) and substantially higher than last year’s benchmark range of 5.5 to 7.2 c/kWh.
We believe this benchmark makes the solar power systems a great investment in NSW for house owners, again.
