Solar power to the grid – NSW’s gross feed-in -tariiff

NSW to go gross with solar  The Northern Rivers Echo  by Andy Parks  12th November 2009 Environmental and industry groups have welcomed the announcement by the NSW Government that they will introduce a gross feed in tariff for renewable energy systems such as solar and wind.A gross tariff system pays for all of the electricity that the system produces, not just the excess that is fed back into the grid.
NSW will be the second region in Australia to introduce a gross tariff system (Canberra was the first) and there are now calls for other states to follow because there is strong evidence that gross feed in tariffs are a key element in increasing the uptake of domestic solar systems and the main reason for Germany’s dominance as a solar power producing nation.
The announcement by Premier Nathan Rees on Tuesday was that households will be paid at 60 cents per kilowatt hour for systems up to 10kW………..The scheme will begin on January 1, 2010.
