Time-varying and conditional offers
These rates depend on when you export, or need something first (a battery, VPP enrolment, a membership, an approved installer or a particular sales channel), so they're kept out of the table above.

How TAS feed-in tariffs are regulated
The Tasmanian Economic Regulator sets a minimum feed-in tariff that every retailer must pay on every kWh exported: 9.276 c/kWh from 1 July 2026, with no daily cap. Aurora Energy pays the minimum, and some smaller retailers pay more on market offers. Tasmania also has the country's highest average quarterly bills, so self-consumption still beats exporting.
| Benchmark | Rate | Window or cap |
|---|---|---|
| Regulated minimum (every retailer) | 9.276c/kWh | - |
In the AER plan data as at 29 October 2026, 1st Energy and Aurora Energy pay the 9.276c minimum, and Solstice Energy (11c/kWh with no daily cap) and CovaU (10.869c/kWh with no daily cap) pay more on market offers.

What the daily cap actually means
Of the 4 retailers with a generally available flat rate above zero in TAS, 0 pay it only up to a daily cap. 4 pay one rate on every kWh.
What an exported kWh is worth
Each kWh you export earns the feed-in rate. Each kWh of solar you use yourself instead saves a kWh at your plan's usage rate, which is on the plan's fact sheet. Our savings calculator estimates both for your postcode, and a home battery stores daytime solar for the evening instead of exporting it.

Common questions
What is the best solar feed-in tariff in Tasmania?
On the published rate alone, the highest generally available flat feed-in tariff in the AER plan data as at 29 October 2026 is 11c/kWh with no daily cap from Solstice Energy. The rate is one part of a plan: check the daily cap, the rate after it, the daily supply charge and the usage rates on the plan's fact sheet before you switch.
Who pays the highest solar feed-in tariff in Tasmania?
Ranked by the flat rate open to anyone switching, in the AER plan data as at 29 October 2026: Solstice Energy, 11c/kWh with no daily cap; CovaU, 10.869c/kWh with no daily cap; 1st Energy, 9.276c/kWh with no daily cap; Aurora Energy, 9.276c/kWh with no daily cap (regulated offer). The table on this page ranks all 4 retailers with a flat rate above zero, highest first. Offers that need a battery, VPP enrolment or another condition can pay more and are listed separately; the plan's daily cap, supply charge and usage rates matter too.
Is there a minimum feed-in tariff in Tasmania?
Yes. Tasmania's regulator sets a minimum feed-in tariff, 9.276c/kWh, that every retailer must pay eligible customers on every kWh exported, with no cap. In the AER plan data as at 29 October 2026, 1st Energy and Aurora Energy pay the minimum, and Solstice Energy (11c/kWh with no daily cap) and CovaU (10.869c/kWh with no daily cap) pay more on market offers.
Should I pick the retailer with the highest feed-in tariff?
Not always. The headline FIT rate is just one factor. Check the daily cap (the rate after the cap is usually much lower), the daily supply charge, and the import (peak/off-peak) rates. A high FIT plan with a high daily supply charge and high import rates can be worse overall than a moderate FIT plan with competitive imports. Run it through the AER's Energy Made Easy comparison to compare like-for-like.
Will my feed-in tariff change over time?
Yes, it can. Retailers can change the feed-in rate on a market offer, and regulated rates are reset each financial year. Each retailer page shows the snapshots of the AER plan data we've recorded and any change between them; the rates on this page are from 29 October 2026.
