* The percentage of the maximum Aboriginal price adder or maximum community price adder added to the FIT contract price is based on the Aboriginal or community participation level as defined in the FIT Rules.

For example:

50 to 100 percent control

 eligible for the full price adder

40 to 49 percent control

 eligible for 80 to 98 percent of the price adder

25 to 39 percent control

 eligible for 50 to 78 percent of the price adder

10 to 24 percent control

 eligible for 20 to 48 percent of the price adder

(10 percent is the minimum level required)

For example, a 10 MW on-shore wind project with an Aboriginal participation level greater than 50 percent would be eligible to receive the FIT contract price of 13.5 cents/kWh, plus an additional 1.5 cents/kWh. This means that the total price would be 15 cents/kWh for this project.
