A final decision has been made by the Essential Services Commission on the minimum feed-in tariff rate paid to Victorian customers with solar panel installations in 2014.
The Commission has decided on 8 cents per kWh for the calendar year beginning on 1 January 2014 and ending on 31 December 2014.
This rate will not change from the existing 8 cents per kWh rate paid to all new customers from 1 January 2013.
The Essential Services Commission will review the rate for feed-in tariffs in Victoria and it will be updated annually until 2016.
I developed an interest in the Australian energy and construction sectors more than a decade ago and have since closely followed the trends, technologies and developments shaping both industries. My involvement in the Australian solar market began in 2008, and over the years I have built strong connections with professionals, businesses and organisations across the construction, solar and renewable energy sectors in Australia and internationally. These connections include solar panel and inverter manufacturers, electrical and construction industry professionals, software developers creating tools to quote, monitor and manage solar power systems, and media organisations that closely follow developments across energy, construction and renewable technologies. Today, I continue to contribute as an industry advocate, author and commentator, sharing practical insights and information to help Australian consumers and businesses better understand solar power, energy technologies, construction-related developments and the changing Australian energy landscape.
