What are Feed-in Tariffs (FITs)?
A Feed-in Tariff (or FIT) is a government legislated policy. It guarantees a fixed premium price over the retail rate, payable to any person or organisation who generates renewable electricity and feeds (sells) it into the national grid or local electricity network.
If implemented in New Zealand, a FIT would pay consumers to produce electricity, rather than simply charging them to use it. By placing a legal obligation on power companies to buy renewable electricity from New Zealanders at a premium rate, renewable energy systems such as solar photovoltaic, small wind and hydro become a worthwhile and secure investment for the many.

Who is REFIT-NZ?
REFIT-NZ is a fully independent and not-for-profit organisation. We are educating New Zealanders about Feed-in Tariffs (FITs) as we believe this to be the world's best renewable energy law. FITs are already working successfully in over 45 OECD countries, states and provinces around the world!
Our purpose is to support New Zealanders to:
- Achieve more control over electricity supply, demand and price
- Build a case for a NZ Feed-in Tariff policy
- Make that case available to the Government and other stakeholders
