SEG / Export Tariffs
Smart Export Guarantee which launched 1st January 2020, pays you for the energy you export back to the grid.
As SEG settles into the marketplace more tariffs will become available, below we have listed a few of the energy supply companies that you may want to consider switching to if you have solar panels installed.
However these rates change regularly so you should check with the suppliers or look at comparison websites for the best up to date rates
