"While the tariffs came into place in mid-2022, most households and businesses won’t see any major change until next year.

This is due to distributors needing to submit a price proposal to the Australian Energy Regulator (AER) to demonstrate why they need it.

Some distributors in NSW and the ACT have already outlined the changes and how the costs would look for the average household or small business.

Ausgrid, the largest energy provider on Australia’s east coast, revealed they were imposing such a two-way tariff in July – charging customers 1.2c/kWh for the electricity they produce during the peak export period of 10am-3pm.

The company said customers would receive a payment of 2.3c/kWh for electricity exported to the grid during peak demand hours between 4pm-9pm each day."

Hands up who knows how much solar energy is captured at 9pm. Even at 4pm the solar duck curve is in full swing, especially as they are not typically solar tracking.

There's nowhere to store all that energy.
