Redirecting solar feed in tariffs to residential battery storage:
In this article we demonstrate how redirecting ongoing feed-in tariff payments towards residential battery storage has the potential to reduce overall system costs. We present some of the challenges associated with unlocking these benefits and provide a list of policy principles that can be utilised to guide policy development.

What is a solar feed-in tariff? A feed-in tariff (FiT) is a small credit rebate that households receive for any excess electricity produced by a solar system or other small-scale generator. Simply put, unless you have a solar battery, any solar power produced by solar panels must be immediately used or it will feed into the shared electricity grid for other properties to use.

We find that the approved standardized small power producers’ tariffs and subsidy scheme in Tanzania still do not allow mini-grid for rural electrification projects to be profitable.
Are private-owned mini-grid systems financially feasible in Tanzania?
Our analysis shows that despite a well-structured mini-grid tariff system and subsidies initiatives in Tanzania, operating privately-owned mini-grid systems in rural communities is not financially feasible. Further, we describe some of the challenges with the effective deployment of mini-grid systems in Tanzania.
What are off-grid feed-in tariffs?
The so-called off-grid Feed-in Tariffs (off-FiT) is a variation of the FiT scheme for isolated areas and mini-grids that are not directly connected to the main national grid. Specifically, Tanzania has Standardized Power Purchase (SPP) rates, which are explicitly aimed at distribution systems in mini-grids or isolated grids.
