The ACT’s feed-in tariffs, typically 4 to 10 cents per kWh, are set by retailers rather than mandated by government. That puts them broadly in line with NSW, and below rates historically available in QLD and SA.

The more important number for most households is the gap. You pay 30 to 40c/kWh for grid electricity and earn 4 to 10c exporting solar. That gap is why self-consumption and batteries deliver far better returns than maximising exports.

You can compare current retailer rates using the government’s Energy Made Easy tool.
