Generating electricity at home?
If you generate your own electricity, and you are a Nova Energy residential customer, we can pay you for the excess power you generate or ‘export’.
Our current export buy-back rate is:
7.4 cents per kWh*
*This export rate excludes GST and any applicable prompt payment discount. It is effective 1 September 2018 and is subject to change with 30 days’ notice.
Nova Energy’s buy-back rate applies to all excess or exported domestic electricity generation, produced by solar panels, wind and small hydro schemes rated to generate up to 10kW.
We set our buy-back rate to take into account the average price we pay for electricity on the New Zealand wholesale market. (Our buy-back rate is lower than the price you pay for your electricity because this includes other pricing elements such as network charges and our operating costs).
