We are reviewing the minimum electricity feed-in tariff that your energy company is allowed to pay you for power you export to the grid (from sources including solar panels). The new tariffs will apply from 1 July 2022.
We have set the Victorian Default Offer prices to apply from 1 January 2022 to 30 June 2022. Average annual bills for default offer customers will go down by about five per cent for residential customers and six per cent for small business customers.
We've published our annual report for 2020–21. The report shows how we ensured Victorians had ongoing access to essential services that are reliable and at fair prices.
