South Australia Default Market Offer (DMO)
When comparing energy plans and providers, you’ve probably seen the reference price or Default Market Offer mentioned. The DMO is the electricity tariff set by the Australian government, used to cap energy prices and help consumers compare energy plans. While the DMO was first introduced to help those paying the historic Standing Offer, it is not always the cheapest offer available.
The Default Market Offer helps energy consumers in two ways:
To protect consumers from exponential energy prices if they choose not to engage with the energy market and instead remain on the DMO. While the DMO doesn’t necessarily offer the cheapest energy rates on the market it does prevent energy providers from charging you more if you don’t qualify for, or choose not to subscribe to, a discounted Market Offer.
To inform consumers about energy plan prices and how much less (or in some instances more) expensive an energy retailers market offer is, compared to the standard offer. This is often shown as “X% off the Reference Price” in the details about an energy providers electricity plan.
In South Australia, the Default Market Offer for residents connected to the SA Power network on a single rate tariff is $2,216 as of July 2024

South Australia is one of the most popular estates to get into solar. In 2021, SA set a world record in managing to generate more than 100% of the electricity demand only with solar.
For this reason, multiple providers are looking to promote their SA solar feed-in tariffs as many SA households have solar panels.
This is a list with the best SA solar feed-in tariffs:
| Provider Name | Minimum Solar FiT (kWh) | Maximum Solar FiT (kWh) |
|---|---|---|

| 1st Energy | 8.0c | 8.0c |
| Simply Energy | 5.5c | 6.0c |
| CovaU Energy | 5.5c | 5.5c |
​​​​​​​
Usually, energy providers will offer a higher feed-in tariff rate for a lower discount off the reference price and vice versa. Choosing a feed-in tariff rate depends on the size of your solar PV system, and your lifestyle.
For this reason, it's best to compare the feed-in tariff rate versus the overall discount offered from the reference price. We recommend using the table below to compare rates with the table above.
