ActewAGL doesn't have specific solar plans but it does offer a feed-in tariff on its electricity plans.
Here's an overview of its feed-in tariff:
ActewAGL got a score of 1.29/10 on the Green Electricity Guide, placing it right about average among Australian energy retailers. It performs poorly in terms of both carbon emissions and renewables policy, but has a good stance against fossil fuel energy sources as well as being very transparent about its energy.
However, ActewAGL does offer two forms of accredited GreenPower. One allows you to pay for a fixed amount of green energy daily, while the other lets you pay to ensure that between 10 and 200% of your energy use will be offset by green and renewable sources.
In addition to selling electricity and gas to customers, ActewAGL also has a retail store in Fyshwick, ACT, which sells and installs a range of energy products:
