OUR FEED-IN TARIFF
Flow Power’s
feed-in tariff
With Flow Power, you’ll receive a baseline tariff of 3.30c/kWh – your starting point. From there, you’ll have the power to change your final rate based on your export behaviour.
To find out how your final feed-in tariff is calculated, head to our calculation explainer page.
FiT calculationsWith Flow Power, your feed-in tariff is…
Variable
The final rate you receive for your exports will change each month, depending on when you exported energy to the grid, how much, and what the price per kW was at the time – according to the wholesale electricity market and your network tariff.
Wholesale-based
Since your feed-in tariff is based on wholesale market prices, you’ll have access to a wider range of pricing. When wholesale prices surge during peak times or grid events, you can benefit from these higher prices, that would otherwise be capped on fixed feed-in tariff plans.
Up to you
The more you export during peak times, the higher your final feed-in tariff. And the more you export when prices are low, the lower your feed-in tariff. Control your export times, control your rate.
Benefits of a variable feed-in tariff
Balancing supply and demand
Since the mass adoption of rooftop solar, Australia now produces excess energy during the day. As the supply and demand of electricity needs to be carefully balanced, solar feed-in tariffs have dropped dramatically to discourage exporting at these times.
Value returned to customers
While the drop in feed-in tariffs has been a shock to many solar panel owners, a variable feed-in tariff offers an opportunity to regain some of that value by rewarding energy export at peak times with a higher rate.
Support the transition
Variable feed-in tariffs encourage and reward the export of clean, renewable energy at peak times, reducing our reliance on fossil fuels.
Better rates with a battery
To get the best feed-in tariff, you’ll need to export more of your energy at peak times and avoid exporting during the day.
This makes Flow Power an excellent choice for battery owners who can charge up during the day instead of exporting.
Using the Flow Power app, battery owners can find the highest prices and export accordingly.
Find out how our feed-in tariff has been designed to reward savvy battery owners.

Frequently asked questions
No. At Flow Power, we’re on a mission to encourage smarter energy habits.
Which is why we no longer want to encourage exporting solar during the day when there is already an abundance of solar in the grid.
Exporting this clean energy at peak times instead reduces the demand for fossil fuels and supports Australia’s transition to renewables.
Not exactly. With Flow Power you’ll still receive a base electricity rate, daily supply charge and a feed-in tariff. You won’t be directly connected to wholesale prices.
However, we do give you the opportunity to change your final rate and feed-in tariff each month – our way of sharing the benefits of wholesale prices in a safer way than full exposure.
