How TAS's feed-in tariff market works

Tasmania has a single retail electricity market served primarily by Aurora Energy, with a regulated feed-in tariff set annually by the Tasmanian Economic Regulator (TER).

Regulated minimum

Aurora Energy is required to offer the regulated FiT to all small solar customers. The rate is reviewed annually based on wholesale market data.

What's actually worth chasing

TAS has limited retail competition, so there's not much to negotiate on FiT. Maximise value by sizing your solar system to match daytime self-consumption rather than oversizing for export.

Authoritative sources

Rates change annually. For current numbers, go directly to the source.

Considering a battery for TAS?

Battery economics depend heavily on your FiT — the lower your export rate, the more valuable a battery becomes. The federal Cheaper Home Batteries Program rebate steps down 19% on 1 May 2026.
