Export Tariff Explained

The energy needs of South Australians have changed. Our electricity grid was originally designed to deliver energy one way, from the generator to homes and businesses across the state. Now, with one of the highest uptakes of solar energy in the world, more and more South Australians want to export their excess solar energy into the electricity grid, creating a two-way system. To ensure all South Australians can export excess energy (such as energy generated by rooftop solar) now and into the future, we need to invest in the grid to enable this two-way system. We will be investing in targeted network upgrades to unlock greater volumes of exports from rooftop solar. This will increase the amount of low-cost energy generation in the State and reduce reliance on expensive fossil fuels. Over time, this will lead to a more efficient and sustainable energy system for all customers. These upgrades will benefit every customer in the State over time, even those without solar - but those with solar will see greater and more immediate benefits. This investment will be enabled through an export tariff. The Export Tariff (also known as two-way pricing) is applied to excess energy exports only, so the more people self-consume the solar they generate, the less likely it is that they will be charged to export excess energy. It means that electricity network upgrades to support these energy exports, are funded by those who benefit from them the most. This makes it fairer for those who do not have the ability to export energy.
