South Australia. The end position they are seeking to understand in detail is What customers need gas in what volume and over what timeline, What are the estimated cash costs of some of the newer projects, and When the current suite of gas contracts expire. Obviously, in compiling this data, the reserves/ resources and current demand profiles will be available. Key points The east coast domestic gas market is currently in a period of transition as the LNG projects begin commissioning. The much-expected surge of ramp gas is now happening, increasing production and driving down short-term

    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.

  • Surat Basin Non-Resident Population Projections, 2021 to 2025
    Queensland Government Statistician’s Office Surat Basin non–resident population projections, 2021 to 2025 Introduction The resource sector in regional Queensland utilises fly-in/fly-out Figure 1 Surat Basin region and drive-in/drive-out (FIFO/DIDO) workers as a source of labour supply. These non-resident workers live in the regions only while on-shift (refer to Notes, page 9). The Australian Bureau of Statistics’ (ABS) official population estimates and the Queensland Government’s population projections for these areas only include residents. To support planning for population change, the Queensland Government Statistician’s Office (QGSO) publishes annual non–resident population estimates and projections for selected resource regions. This report provides a range of non–resident population projections for local government areas (LGAs) in the Surat Basin region (Figure 1), from 2021 to 2025. The projection series represent the projected non-resident populations associated with existing resource operations and future projects in the region. Projects are categorised according to their standing in the approvals pipeline, including stages of In this publication, the Surat Basin region is defined as the environmental impact statement (EIS) process, and the local government areas (LGAs) of Maranoa (R), progress towards achieving financial close. Series A is based Western Downs (R) and Toowoomba (R). on existing operations, projects under construction and approved projects that have reached financial close. Series B, C and D projections are based on projects that are at earlier stages of the approvals process. Projections in this report are derived from surveys conducted by QGSO and other sources. Data tables to supplement the report are available on the QGSO website (www.qgso.qld.gov.au).
