About AGL's solar plans in New South Wales

AGL offers 205 electricity plans with solar feed-in tariffs in New South Wales, with export rates ranging from 3c to 15c per kWh. These plans are available across 2 network areas: Ausgrid, Essential Energy.

Note that rates vary between plans. AGL's lowest plan offers just 3c/kWh, while their best plan pays 15c/kWh. Make sure you're on the right plan if you're looking to maximise your export income.

Understanding AGL's feed-in tariff

FIT isn't everything

A high feed-in tariff looks good, but your usage rate and daily supply charge often have a bigger impact on your total bill. A plan with a lower FIT but cheaper usage rates can save you more overall.

Single vs time-of-use

Single-rate FITs pay the same amount regardless of when you export. Time-of-use FITs pay more during peak periods but less during off-peak, which is when most solar exports happen.

Self-consumption value

With AGL's FIT at 8c and usage rates around 32c, every kWh you use yourself instead of exporting saves you an extra 24c.

Is AGL's 8c FiT worth it?

AGL's best rate of 8c/kWh is below their average usage rate of 32c/kWh. Every kWh you self-consume instead of export saves you an extra 24c.

A battery lets you store your daytime solar for evening use, so more of every kWh you generate stays with you.

Federal battery rebate: about $3,610 on a 14 kWh battery. One Why Solar Approved installer, one free written quote, and fifteen minutes with a solar expert before you sign.

Not necessarily. A higher feed-in tariff doesn't always mean a better deal overall. Your usage rate (what you pay per kWh consumed) and daily supply charge often matter more than the export rate, especially if you use most of your solar during the day. Compare the total plan cost, not just the FIT.
