A Fair Solar Feed-In Tariff For Australia Is Around 22 Cents
Solar Feed-In Tariffs Should Be Higher Than They Are — But Not As High As Some Believe
In my not at all humble opinion, Australian solar feed-in tariffs are too damn low! People aren’t receiving a fair deal for the clean solar energy they export to the grid. This is bad for our nation and the world because with a fairer price we would see more rooftop solar installed which would reduce the damage to our health and our environment from burning fossil fuels.
But before I am voted leader of the revolution for higher feed-in tariffs and march my armies on Canberra — or maybe somewhere that’s actually nice to go — I should point out that, unlike some people, I don’t think solar feed-in tariffs should equal the retail cost of electricity. While feed-in tariffs should be higher than they are now, a “fair” price is likely to still be less than what most of us are are normally charged for grid electricity.
As a result, this article will probably end up a successful attempt at making the maximum number of people possible disagree with me. [Read more…]
