  • 2010 Electricity Statement of Opportunities for the National Electricity Market
    ELECTRICITY STATEMENT OF OPPORTUNITIES 2010 Electricity Statement of Opportunities for the National Electricity Market Published by AEMO Australian Energy Market Operator 530 Collins Street Melbourne Victoria 3000 Copyright © 2010 AEMO ISSN: 1836-7593 © AEMO 2010 ELECTRICITY STATEMENT OF OPPORTUNITIES © AEMO 2010 ELECTRICITY STATEMENT OF OPPORTUNITIES Preface I am pleased to introduce AEMO’s 2010 Electricity Statement of Opportunities (ESOO), which presents the outlook for Australia’s National Electricity Market (NEM) supply capacity for years 2013-2020 and demand for years 2010-2020. The supply-demand outlook reflects the extent of growth, and opportunities for growth, in generation and demand-side investment. This year, for the first time, AEMO has separated the 10-year supply-demand outlook into two documents. While the ESOO will cover years 3-10 and focus on investment matters, a separate document titled Power System Adequacy (PSA)–A Two Year Outlook will publish the operational issues and supply-demand outlook for summers 2010/11 and 2011/12. AEMO has released the ESOO and PSA together. The ESOO is one of a collection of AEMO planning publications that provides comprehensive information about energy supply and investment, demand, and network planning. AEMO’s other annual planning documents are the South Australian Supply and Demand Outlook, the Victorian Annual Planning Report and Update, the National Transmission Network Development Plan (NTNDP), and the Gas Statement of Opportunities. AEMO expects that climate change policies will, over time, change the way in which Australia produces and consumes electricity. This is likely to take place through a shift from the current reliance on coal as a source of generation to less carbon-intensive fuel sources.

  • AGL Supplementary
    AGL submission to Australian Energy Market Commission Review of Effectiveness of Competition in the Electricity and Gas Retail Markets in South Australia Date: September 2008 Table of Contents Introduction........................................................................... 1 The South Australian Wholesale Market...................................... 2 The Torrens Island Power Station.............................................. 6 Summer 2007/2008................................................................ 7 Outlook for prices in South Australia........................................ 11 Comments on the UnitingCare Wesley Submissions ................... 13 Introduction AGL has made a submission to the Commission in support of the Commission’s finding in its Draft Report1 that the gas and electricity markets in South Australia are demonstrating effective competition. In that submission we said that: • AGL concurs with the Commission’s findings that the South Australian energy markets are competitive; • The high prices for the first quarter of 2008 reflected the structure of the South Australian market and the extreme summer that had occurred; and • Market churn was not directly related to high prices. Since making that submission, AGL has becoming increasingly concerned about a number of comments made by an interested party in submissions to the Commission’s Issues Paper and the Draft Report that claim there is a lack of competition in the wholesale electricity market in South Australia. AGL believes that the facts do not support these contrary submissions and the arguments made in them cannot be supported. We are therefore providing additional information to the Commission to more fully discuss pricing issues in South Australia and to counter these claims. AGL notes that similar claims of market failure and generator profiteering were made in the aftermath of the extreme summer of 2000/01.

  • A South Australia's Electricity and Gas Industries
    A South Australia's Electricity and Gas Industries Both the electricity and gas industries in South Australia have undergone a range of significant reforms over the last fifteen years, commencing with the vertical disaggregation of the electricity and gas supply chains in the mid-1990s and culminating with the introduction of FRC for customers of all sizes during 2003-04. In the wake of FRC, gas and electricity retailing in South Australia has moved from a single host retailer model to a multiple retailer model. The remainder of this appendix provides both an historic perspective on the reforms that were undertaken in advance of the introduction of FRC and an overview of the current structure of energy retailing. A.1. Progression to FRC A.1.1. Electricity industry progression to FRC Between 1946 and 1995, the Electricity Trust of South Australia (ETSA) was responsible for undertaking all aspects of the electricity supply chain in South Australia including the generation, transmission, distribution and retail sale of electricity. On 1 July 1995, the Electricity Trust of South Australia was corporatised and became ETSA Corporation under the Public Corporations Act 1993. In January 1997 the South Australian Government undertook the first steps towards vertical disaggregation, by transferring ETSA’s generation assets to SA Generation Corporation. The second step toward vertical disaggregation occurred in October 1998 when the South Australian Government announced that, in order to meet its commitments under the Competition Principles Agreement and in preparation for entry into the NEM, ETSA Corporation and SA Generation Corporation would need to be further disaggregated.

We also own and operate a multi-billion dollar energy generation portfolio across Australia, including coal, gas, and wind assets with control of over 4,500MW of generation in the National Electricity Market (NEM). In South Australia alone, our generation assets include Cathedral Rocks Wind Farm (66MW) and Hallett Power Station (220MW) and we are actively progressing other development opportunities in the state. We also provide asset management services for the Waterloo Wind Farm (131MW). We welcome the opportunity to provide comment on the Commission’s proposed amendments to the licensing arrangements for generators in South Australia and recognise the significant work completed by the Commission in conjunction with the Australian Energy Market Operator (AEMO) in review of the technical standards. As it is AEMO’s stated intention to submit a rule change with the Australian Energy Market Commission (AEMC) proposing revisions to generator performance standards consistent with its recommendations, this inquiry is important not only for South Australia but also the broader market.
