Understanding Energy Locals's Feed-in Tariff

payments

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 Energy Locals's FIT at 15c and usage rates around 30c, every kWh you use yourself instead of exporting saves you an extra 15c.

Is Energy Locals's 15c FiT Worth It?

Energy Locals's best rate of 15c/kWh is below their average usage rate of 30c/kWh. Every kWh you self-consume instead of export saves you an extra 15c.

A battery lets you store your daytime solar for evening use, maximising the value of every kWh you generate.

Should I choose Energy Locals just for their feed-in tariff?expand_more
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.
