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. For electricity, distributors own and manage the poles and cables which deliver power. Gas distributors own and manage the pipelines which distribute gas across the country. A customer does not have a choice as to which distributor they use, as location of their property will determine this. Who are the distributors? Distributors are different in every state. Some states have more than one distributor. Below is a list of the distributors in New South Wales, Queensland, Victoria and South Australia.

Unauthorized copying or reproduction of this product, in whole or in part, VIRIDIAN • AUSTRALIA MARKET GUIDE 3 is strictly prohibited. What is Deregulation? Rather than the state government determining the price that customers pay for electricity and gas in that state, some states have allowed for private companies to compete for customers’ business. This is called deregulation. The deregulation of the energy industry in Australia started in Victoria, to increase market competition and to give consumers a choice of providers. This gave private companies the opportunity to enter the energy market and offer retail electricity and gas to consumers. Due to the success Victoria experienced through deregulation, Queensland, New South Wales and South Australia also chose to deregulate. Due to this process, there is a large diversity in regards to energy prices across Australia. In some states, such as Victoria and New South Wales, there are a large number of retailers, providing a healthy quantity of retailer competition. In other states (such as Western Australia) deregulation has not occurred. The Solar Market Throughout the last decade, state governments have encouraged the adoption of solar energy by creating solar bonus schemes and setting minimum solar feed-in tariffs (FIT) to customers. The size of the tariff varies in each state, and the government would give more to customers that installed solar systems earlier. Each of the state government solar feed-in tariffs have an expiry date, for example the 60c Solar Bonus scheme in NSW will expire 31st December 2016. *The information in the tables below was accurate as of September 2016.

In Victoria, Australian Gas Networks (AGN) – part of AGIG – is partnering with global low- carbon energy company ENGIE to develop a renewable hydrogen project that will supply carbon-free hydrogen at volumes of up to 10 per cent, to around 40,000 existing residential, commercial and industrial connections. The 10MW Hydrogen Park Murray Valley (HyP Murray Valley) project will be co-located with the West Wodonga Wastewater Treatment Plant and supply renewable hydrogen blended with natural gas to customers on the existing Albury-Wodonga gas distribution network, with the facility also able to supply industry and transport markets. The HyP Murray Valley bid has been submitted alongside the Clean Energy Innovation Park (CEIP) project proposal, a joint venture between AGIG and international integrated energy group ATCO. The CEIP will be located alongside renewable electricity generation assets in Waradarge, Western Australia. It comprises a 10MW electrolyser and is capable of producing 4.0 tonnes of renewable hydrogen per day for use in gas networks, industry and transport. These projects add to AGIG’s current hydrogen developments in Hydrogen Park South Australia and Hydrogen Park Gladstone in Queensland and demonstrates AGIG’s commitment to target 10 per cent renewable gas in networks by no later than 2030.

    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.
