AEMO has established a series of Gas, Electricity and Network Leadership Forums to provide a vehicle for frank industry discussion on key issues. This year those forums have given industry representatives the chance to discuss the impact of the Clean Energy Future Plan, particularly the role gas generators will play. The government has indicated AEMO has a role to play in ensuring that network reliability is maintained as we move to more renewable energy sources in the future. Stakeholder engagement has been a key focus in 2010–11 with a major project underway to develop streamlined and cost effective processes for connecting generators and loads to Victoria’s shared electricity network. The Victorian Connections Industry Reference Group (VCIRG) was formed and is working in partnership with AEMO to address issues and introduce change. The project, which continues in 2011–12, aims to develop a common understanding and look at future terminal station requirements. The next year will be a challenging one with the further development of the gas industry Short Term Trading Market (STTM). A new Queensland hub will to be bedded down and the expanding market will no doubt encounter opportunities and challenges. AEMO will continue to improve operational efficiencies, building on the successful negotiation of a comprehensive Enterprise Agreement and the consolidation of key functions. We will continue to encourage transparency and ChairMan’s accountability with the introduction of a single help desk for our stakeholders and continue to facilitate industry Leadership Forums. report To manage the challenging year ahead we will require strong leadership and our Board has been fortunate to attract such strong and experienced members.

We also welcome the appointments of Dr Anthony (Tony) Marxsen and Ms Jane Tongs to the Board, effective 1 July 2011. Dr Marxsen has extensive expertise in electricity grids and information technology, and Ms Tongs has previously chaired multiple audit and risk committees and has Dr Thomas Parry AM a strong knowledge of capital markets.

    Article No. 8115 Available on www.roymorgan.com Link to Roy Morgan Profiles Friday, 30 August 2019 Powershop still number one in electricity satisfaction, despite losing spark in recent months Powershop has won the Roy Morgan Electricity Provider of the Month Award with a customer satisfaction rating of 78% for July 2019. Powershop has now won the past seven monthly awards, remaining unbeaten in 2019. Powershop’s customer satisfaction rating of 78% was followed by Lumo Energy (71%), Simply Energy (70%), Click Energy (70%), Red Energy (70%) and Alinta Energy (70%). E These are the latest findings from the Roy Morgan Single Source survey derived from in-depth face-to- face interviews with 1,000 Australians each week and over 50,000 each year. Powershop managed to maintain its number one position in customer satisfaction, despite it recording the largest decline in ratings of any leading provider, falling from 87% in January 2019, to 78% (-9%) as of July 2019. Over the same period, Lumo Energy, Simply Energy and Click Energy all fell by 4%, Red Energy remained steady, and Alinta Energy increased its rating by 1%. Although Powershop remains well clear of its competitors, if its consistent downtrend in ratings continues for the next few months, we may well see another electricity provider take the lead in customer satisfaction. The Roy Morgan Customer Satisfaction Awards highlight the winners but this is only the tip of the iceberg. Roy Morgan tracks customer satisfaction, engagement, loyalty, advocacy and NPS across a wide range of industries and brands. This data can be analysed by month for your brand and importantly your competitive set.

    POST-SHOW REPORT 2016 sponsors and exhibitors included: +61 (0)2 8188 7597 [email protected] www.energyweek.com.au | 1 AUSTRALIAN ENERGY WEEK 2016 REVIEW FROM THE CHAIR Dear Energy Executive, More than 400 attendees at Australian Energy Week in Melbourne in mid-June had the benefit of 88 expert presenters and panelists over 4 days, across 8 different tracks. They covered a wide range of issues that stand between the Australian community and achievement of the CoAG Energy Council’s recently-announced goal of integrating energy and climate change policies to deliver secure supply and the lowest possible prices. Not surprisingly, much of the speakers’ focus - and the audience’s questions - was on the drivers for change and the need for a durable, bipartisan approach to settle investors’ nerves and to encourage lenders’ support for new developments. One of the most interesting questions was posed by speaker Roberto Bocco, Head of Energy Industries at the World Economic Forum. “We are witnessing a continuous trend for decarbonisation,” he said, “but what if the future of energy is different from what we are expecting?” Diversity among leading nations pursuing the transformation of electricity supply, he pointed out, highlights that there is no single pathway to a more affordable, sustainable and secure energy system. The capacity of the Australian Energy Week presenters to pursue the prospects of diversity and the differing pathways to our national energy future was, I think, the major strength of the conference - which will be held again in Melbourne in May next year. Feedback from the attendees thronging the Albert Park venue for the event repeatedly pointed to the benefits of being exposed to a wide range of views in an environment notable for calm discussion - and, having organised and participated in a multitude of conferences over the past 35 years, I was struck by the high level of networking I saw around me.

Market Snapshot The National Electricity Market (NEM) is the wholesale electricity market that delivers electricity to almost 10 million homes and businesses in Australia. Established in December 1998, it’s one of the largest geographically interconnected power systems in the world, covering a distance of approximately 4,500 kilometres through New South Wales, Queensland, South Australia, Victoria, Tasmania and the Australian Capital Territory. The aim of the NEM is to make sure electricity is available when it’s needed, in a cost effective and reliable way. There are three main participants in the NEM: • Generators, which are coal, natural gas and renewable power stations that sell electricity to the market. • Distributors, who own and manage the infrastructure (poles and cables) which bring the electricity to residential and business customers. • Retailers, who buy electricity from the market. They then sell electricity on to residential and business customers. Click Energy is an Energy Retailer in Australia. Out of the 10 million residential consumers in Australia, the following percentages have switched to a market contract:1 • Victoria: 88% • South Australia: 84% • New South Wales: 69% • Queensland: 46% What is a distributor? Distributors are a core part of the constant supply of electricity and gas into homes and businesses.
