SA Power Networks Regulatory Proposal 2025-30: Export Tariff Registration of Interest

Welcome to the SA Power Networks People's Panel Export Tariff Registration page

This is your opportunity to be the voice of business and help determine how the costs of solar feed in should be shared by all users including businesses.

We are looking for 10-20 businesses of different sizes, with and without solar panels, to be part of a Panel process (the People’s Panel) which will be advising SA Power Networks about how the costs of households and businesses feeding solar into the grid (export tariffs) should be shared fairly.

SA Power Networks are committed to including, in full, the arrangements that are determined by the Panel for transitioning to export tariffs in their proposal to the Australian Energy Regulator.
