  • NSW Infrastructure Capability Assessment: Energy Baseline Report
    NSW Infrastructure Capability Assessment Energy Baseline Report April 2012 This document is intended solely for the use and information of Infrastructure NSW Report Outline • Key Highlights • Introduction • Energy Industry Overview and Current Situation • Electricity • Gas 22 Key Highlights – Electricity • The majority of electricity generation and all transmission and distribution infrastructure assets in NSW are government owned • The NSW government recently privatised the retail electricity sector and announced plans to sell electricity generation assets • 82% (or 16,600MW) of electricity in NSW is generated by 4 key state owned corporations . Electricity is transmitted over a 12,000km transmission system and distributed over ~250,000km distribution system. The book value of this infrastructure is $34bn and the annual capital expenditure is around $4.5bn • Electricity infrastructure is planned through a number of national and operator network plans including the Electricity Statement of Opportunities, the National Transmission Network Development Plan, TransGrid's Annual Transmission Network Development Plan, the distributors Annual Network Development Plans and Performance Reports, and the 5-year Regulatory Proposals and Determinations by the Australian Energy Regulator • These reports provide evidence that, while a number of the state owned electricity distribution assets are beyond or approaching their standard design lives, electricity infrastructure appears to be in good condition and is capable of meeting demand • The performance of electricity generation, transmission and distribution infrastructure is monitored via a number of indicators. The NSW Government sets reliability and security standards through its Network licences. Key electricity operating licence performance indicators such as the average duration and frequency of interruptions have been improving over time • Electricity demand has been flat for the past 5 years partly due to slower economic growth, efficiency and in response to large price increases.

    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.
