  • Inquiry Into the Price of Unleaded Petrol
    SHELL AUSTRALIA’S SUBMISSION TO THE AUSTRALIAN COMPETITION AND CONSUMER (ACCC) INQUIRY INTO THE PRICE OF UNLEADED PETROL CONTENTS Introduction ............................................................................................................................2 Refining and importing..........................................................................................................2 Wholesale and distribution....................................................................................................4 Retail........................................................................................................................................6 Shell submission to ACCC Petrol Price Inquiry, July 2007 Page 1 Introduction This submission addresses issues relevant to Shell under the broad subjects, “Refining and importing”, “Wholesale and distribution” and “Retail”, which are set out in the Issues Paper published by the ACCC in June 2007. However, as Shell is essentially no longer a retailer, the submission makes limited comment on the retail market. As an overarching comment, Shell believes that the Australian market for unleaded petrol is highly competitive as evidenced by: • the fact that Australian fuel, both pre and post tax, is amongst the cheapest in the OECD countries; • Shell’s profits before interest and tax in 2006 equate to 2.3 cents per litre of fuel and over the last five years have averaged around 1.8 cpl or 1.5% on a litre of petrol); and • Shell’s investment of over $1 billion in the Downstream business

Background – About Shell Shell2 is a global group of energy and petrochemical companies, with its headquarters in The Hague, the Netherlands. Shell operates in over 70 countries around the world and employs around 94,000 people. In April 2015, the Boards of Royal Dutch Shell plc and BG Group plc agreed the terms of a proposed merger. The parties are targeting completion of the transaction in early 2016 and are currently seeking regulatory approvals in a number of jurisdictions. Subject to obtaining these approvals, the companies’ shareholders will then be asked to support the proposal. Shell in Australia Shell has been in Australia since 1901 and the Australian business forms an important part of Shell’s global natural gas business. Historically, our significant investments in Australia spanned across both the downstream and upstream sectors. In 2014 Shell sold its downstream refining, marketing and retail distribution operations to Vitol, and our business is now largely focused within the upstream sector – although Shell continues to supply aviation fuels and lubricants. 1 “Shell Australia” refers to Shell Australia Pty Ltd or any of the members of the Australian tax consolidated group of which Shell Energy Holdings Australia Ltd (SEHAL) is the head company.

  • Renewing AEMO's Engagement Model
    Renewing AEMO’s Engagement Model AEMO – Options paper SHELL ENERGY AUSTRALIA RESPONSE August 2020 Shell has been active in Australia since 1901. In Queensland, Shell is the operator of the onshore QGC coal seam gas project and Joint Venture (JV) partner in the Arrow project. In Western Australia, Shell operates Prelude Floating LNG and is also part of JV projects including North West Shelf and Gorgon. Australia continues to be a priority market for Shell as Shell aims to become a global leader in cleaner power generation and innovative energy solutions for customers. In 2017, Shell Energy Australia (SEAu) was established as Shell’s trading arm to bring increased diversity of supply and integrated energy solutions to the Australian market. In 2019, SEAu acquired ERM Power, a leading commercial and industrial electricity retailer, as a wholly-owned subsidiary. We have also acquired 100% of sonnen- a leader in smart energy storage systems and innovative household solutions and a 49% stake in ESCO, a utility scale solar developer. Further, we are building our first commercial-scale solar project in Queensland. Gangarri is a 120MW solar energy project which will generate enough electricity to power around 50,000 homes. These acquisitions unlock opportunities for SEAu to support Australia’s energy markets and customers to deliver the future energy system. SEAu welcomes the opportunity to provide comment to the Australian Energy Market Operator (AEMO) on proposed reforms to improve AEMO’s stakeholder engagement model. GENERAL COMMENTS SEAu is encouraged that AEMO is endeavouring to improve its stakeholder engagement process. This is a timely exercise given the significant reform agenda underway to support the energy market transition.

With increased investment in renewable generation, access to natural gas will have an important role as a fuel source for gas-fired generators to provide firming and security services. The creation of our energy trading venture – Shell Energy Australia – has enabled us to further expand into the east-coast domestic gas market. Through our QGC-LNG project and Shell Energy Australia we supplied around 16 percent of east-coast demand in 2019. We are active participants in the National Electricity Market (NEM) through the 144MW Condamine Power Station and are building our first commercial-scale solar project – Gangarri – in Queensland. The recent acquisition of ERM Power as a wholly-owned subsidiary of Shell Energy Australia, further unlocks growth opportunities to support the NEM as it transitions to more renewable flexible generation and storage. Long-term success of both the Australian economy and companies such as ours will be highly dependent on our ability to anticipate the types of energy and technology needed to support a reliable, flexible and cost- effective electricity grid. The confidence in this success needs to be driven by genuine leadership from governments and energy market bodies.
