Victorians to miss out on electricity bill credits in energy rebate cut​

Hundreds of thousands of Victorian households with rooftop solar will miss out on electricity bill credits after a proposed slashing of a solar energy rebate.
A draft decision by the Essential Services Commission would slash the minimum “feed-in tariff” – which allows customers to sell their excess solar electricity back into the grid – from 3.3 cents per kilowatt hour to just 0.04 cents per kilowatt hour in the 2025-26 financial year.
