RENEWABLE FEED-IN TARIFF
I refer to the renewable feed-in tariff. (1) How much has the government paid in feed-in tariffs to residential generators over the 12 months to 30 June 2011? (2) How much does the government anticipate paying in feed-in tariffs to existing residential generators over the next 12 months, assuming that no further applications are accepted for the feed-in tariff? (3) What is the installed capacity, by inverter capacity and panel capacity, of the renewable energy generators participating in the feed-in tariff scheme? Hon PETER COLLIER

I thank the honourable member for some notice of the question. (1) The government has paid $14 596 864. (2) The government anticipates paying $49 500 000. (3) As of 4 August 2011, there were about 170 megawatts of inverter capacity and 143 megawatts of panel capacity installed under the scheme. These numbers are expected to increase slightly when those with prior contractual commitments are accepted onto the scheme. System owners are able to increase their panel capacity, but not their inverter capacity, at any time and remain eligible for the feed-in tariff.
