Only the specified percentage of the injected electricity will be reimbursed under the newly launched scheme. The Austrian government has set a feed-in-tariff (FIT) for solar systems up to 200 kWh of €0.0791 per kWh for 2018, falling to €0.0767 per kWh next year. In the first half of 2017, the FIT was reduced by 50 percent from its previous level, but it will be increased again in 2018. Abwicklungsstelle für Ökostrom, which is mandated by the government to buy all renewable electricity and sell it, has set aside €8m ($9.5m) to cover the costs of the 2018 scheme.
