From 1 July 2025, we’ll offer a new Super FiT* from 3pm to 9pm daily at a rate of 18.66 cents per kilowatt hour (c/kWh). The Anytime FiT of 9.33c/kWh applies at all other times.
Super FiT applies to eligible residential and business customers with an electronic interval (smart) meter only.
*Super FiT is expected to be introduced at the rate of 18.66c/kWh from 3pm-9pm daily as announced by the Northern Territory Government. The final rate will be published in the electricity pricing order effective 1 July 2025.
Eligibility
To receive Super FiT, residential and business customers must:
- have a solar system less than 30kVA;
- consume less than 750 megawatt hours per year; and
- have an electronic interval (smart) meter installed at the property.
Smart meter customers
Smart meters provide regular usage data and the time-of-day solar power is exported. This is used to calculate how much export will be credited as Anytime FiT or Super FiT.
Solar customers with smart meters don’t need to do anything to start receiving Super FiT. The new rate is automatically applied to billing periods from 1 July 2025.
Mechanical meter customers
Mechanical (basic) meters have a cumulative total for solar exported. A basic meter can’t track the time-of-day that solar is exported. Basic meter customers who want to receive Super FiT will need to upgrade to a smart meter.
Power and Water is upgrading old mechanical meters to smart meters across the Territory by 2029. There are costs associated with upgrading your meter earlier than scheduled. Visit the Power and Water website for more information.
Gross meter customers
Solar customers with gross meters export all their solar power to the grid, rather than consuming it at their property first. All electricity used at a gross meter property is drawn from the grid. Gross meter customers are ineligible for Super FiT.
Power and Water is upgrading gross meters across the Territory. All gross meter customers would have received correspondence from Power and Water about their upgrade. If you’ve received a contact card from Power and Water, call the number on the card to book your upgrade.
Meter upgrades
You can request a meter upgrade through us as your electricity retailer. Meter upgrades are installed by the network provider, Power and Water.
Power and Water is upgrading meters as part of the smart meter rollout. If you want your meter upgraded sooner, you will need to pay for the cost of upgrading your meter earlier than scheduled. These charges will be applied to your next bill after your upgrade.
Meter upgrade requests will be unavailable from mid-June to mid-July 2025 due to system upgrades.
Premium FiT
Premium FiT was grandfathered in 2020 for new solar customers. Premium FiT customers have been gradually transferred to Anytime FiT since 2022. There are no plans to extend or reinstate Premium FiT.
