Discussion Paper on Electricity Feed-in Tariffs (pdf,212KB)
  
As part of its strategy to combat climate change, the State Government announced earlier this year that it would be considering the merits of introducing a mandatory feed-in tariff for renewable energy generated by householders where excess electricity could be fed back into the State electricity grid.

A Discussion Paper has been prepared that outlines some of the issues, costs and benefits of a feed-in tariff scheme, and the factors that influence the characteristics and scope of the various options.
Submissions are invited from interested members of the public to assist in the development of a Tasmanian policy on feed-in tariffs from solar and other renewable sources of electricity that are generated by households and small business, and where excess electricity is able to be exported to the electricity grid.
