How Feed-in Tariffs Work in Tasmania
Tasmania has a unique energy market. Most residential customers are served by Aurora Energy (state-owned), with TasNetworks as the sole distribution network. The Office of the Tasmanian Economic Regulator (OTTER) sets the standard FIT rate. Competition is limited compared to mainland states, so there are fewer retailer options and less variation in FIT rates.
