The ACT is deregulated — retailers set their own feed-in tariff. Holders of the old premium Feed-in Tariff Scheme keep their generous legacy rate until it winds down, but any new solar customer is on market rates.
What your retailer pays for exported solar, and what it charges you to buy power back, both vary by address. See what your own address can actually get.
EnergyPlans is free, and here's how that works. Our prices and comparisons come from the government's whole-of-market Consumer Data Right feed, and no retailer pays to appear or rank higher. When you choose to switch, we hand you to our referral partner, Compare & Connect, and if you sign up they pay us a small commission, which is what keeps the data and guides free. They can only sign you up to retailers they have agreements with, so if your best plan is elsewhere you can go direct or use the government's free Energy Made Easy.

The ACT market is deregulated, overseen by the ICRC, so retailers set their own feed-in tariff rather than being handed a mandated minimum. A small number of households are still on the closed premium scheme that paid a very high legacy rate; everyone else is on ordinary market rates, and the Territory's strong push toward electrification makes getting the usage side right worth even more.
If you are working out which plan to be on, your distribution network here is Evoenergy. Your retailer sets the feed-in tariff; the network shapes the charges around it, so the best-value plan is the one that wins on the whole bill for your postcode.
For almost every solar home, the usage rate — what you pay for grid power, mostly after the sun goes down — moves your yearly bill more than the feed-in tariff does. You buy more than you export, so a cheap usage rate beats a flashy export rate. The highest-value habit is not hunting for a unicorn feed-in tariff; it is using more of your own solar, and being on a plan that is cheap on the power you still have to buy.

Feed-in tariffs vary by retailer and plan and change frequently. A range below is shown only when it names the regulator and year. Where there is no regulator range, the page shows the median and highest open-ended rate on generally available plans. Self-consumption typically saves far more than export earns.
