Renewable Energy Tariffs in Australia

May 9, 2008

There are currently no true renewable tariffs in Australia. However, the state of South Australia has passed a modified net-metering program that it is billing as a feed-in tariff. The measure is not a feed-in tariff as seen in Europe or Ontario, Canada. More importantly, a grassroots movement in support of true feed-in tariffs is being led by the Alternative Technology Association.
