The following information regarding the Scheme closure has been obtained from the NSW Department of Trade and Investment, Regional Infrastructure and Services (DTIRIS) website:

The NSW Solar Bonus Scheme is closed to new applications. Customers wishing to connect solar systems without joining the Scheme can continue to do so.

The NSW Government has announced there will be no change to payments for customers already receiving or about to receive tariff payments under the Solar Bonus Scheme. This includes customers on the 60 cent or 20 cent tariff rate.

The Solar Bonus Scheme provides a feed-in tariff for eligible customers with small solar or wind generators that are connected to the grid. The Scheme commenced on 1 January 2010 and operates until 31 December 2016.
