Geelong Sustainability recently put forward a submission regarding the Essential Services Commission’s minimum feed in tariff review.
Our position on the review is one of broad support for the Essential Services Commission’s approach, however, we noted in our submission that there is significant room for improvement in several areas, including the human health impact.
Minimum Feed in Tariff – What it Means for You
If you have or are planning to get solar and are not on a promotional feed in tariff you will see approximately a 9% reduction in your bill’s solar feed in credit. We suggest:
- Where possible, run appliances during the day
- A well sized solar system should cover your usage today and in the future especially if considering an electric vehicle
- When upgrading or replacing appliances consider solar optimisation e.g hot water heat pumps or solar aware EV chargers
