Understanding Alinta Energy'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 Alinta Energy's FIT at 9c and usage rates around 41c, every kWh you use yourself instead of exporting saves you an extra 32c.

Is Alinta Energy's 9c FiT Worth It?
