NSW will launch solar feed-in tariff for surplus electricity

25/11/2008 - NSW households generating solar power will be paid for surplus electricity they pump into the grid under a new state government scheme.

The Rees government next year will introduce a feed-in tariff to encourage people to take up solar power, paying for unused electricity householders put into the grid.

How much they will receive is yet to be worked out, but it could be up to 60 cents per kilowatt, or four times the price of conventional electricity, ABC Television has reported.

NSW Environment Minister Carmel Tebbutt said the feed-in tariff would act as an incentive for those wanting to help tackle climate change.
