The State of FiTs in Australia

Two recent online articles explore the state of feed-in tariffs in Australia, outlining what has been implemented to date by the states, comparing these with international exapmples and looking ahead to the direction a national feed-in tariff might take.

In Solar policy trapped in the state shadowlands PETER MARES explains that, while all sides of politics agree that a German-style national feed-in tariff to encourage rooftop solar power makes sense, Christine Milne’s bill to create the tariff is going nowhere.

Additionally, in Solar Stuff-up, appearing in Australian Policy Online, BOB JOHNSTONE explains why Australia should now follow the German example.
