How Feed-in Tariffs Work in South Australia
South Australia's feed-in tariff market is fully deregulated — retailers set their own rates with no government-mandated minimum. SA has a single electricity distribution network (SA Power Networks), which simplifies things compared to multi-network states. SA historically had some of Australia's highest electricity prices, which initially supported higher FIT rates, but as solar penetration has grown, export rates have declined alongside falling wholesale prices.
