About the Feed-In Tariff

Moreland Energy Foundation Limited have pulled together some comparitive data from Victoria's electricity retailers. The donwnloadable pdf provides rates and relevant information that will enable you to make an informed decision when selecting a retailer. Keep in mind that most BREAZE members have assigned their RECs to BREAZE, so that column in the pdf will not apply to most.
