Comment on the Essential Services Commission (ESC) Methodology for Assessment of Fair and Reasonable Feed-In Tariffs and Terms and Conditions – Draft Guidance Paper. As Stage One of a two-stage process to establish feed-in tariffs in Victoria, the establishment of fair and reasonable terms and conditions provides greater clarity and certainty, enabling renewable energy proponents to shop around to determine the most suitable and favourable offer, and is a welcome interim step on the path to mandated tariffs.

ATA supports the broad assessment methodology outlined in the paper, however expressed concerns with the actual criteria against which the feed-in tariff contracts will be assessed. Further, ATA expressed concerns with the process used by the Department of Primary Industries to develop the criteria, and the timeframes of assessment to date.
