CONTINUED SUCCESS CHAIRMAN’S It is our pleasure to record another successful year for ERM Power, one in which we operated safely and delivered record sales and profits, built the foundations for further growth and consolidated our position as one of the four pillars of the Australian energy sector. AND CEO’S REPORT Operating in a competitive and dynamic environment, we delivered higher underlying earnings and dividends as our electricity sales business continued to grow strongly, our generation business delivered another year of solid contribution and our gas business delivered its first operating profits. We also participated in the sale process for the assets of Macquarie Generation and established a new electricity metering business, which will grow and further diversify our earnings. HIGHER EARNINGS Our strong performance continued in FY 2014 with underlying NPAT1 32% higher than FY 2013 when a number of significant items2 are excluded. Pleasingly, the Board has approved another increase in dividends for the full year. BUSINESS ENERGY GROWTH Our electricity sales business, which trades as ERM Business Energy, experienced another record year, increasing volumes by 27% to 14.1 terawatt hours (TWh) and increasing revenue and earnings as we continued to expand our share of the business market in Australia. The business, which operates in every state and the Australian Capital Territory, remained Australia’s fourth largest electricity retailer accounting for 8.7% of all sales in the National Electricity Market. We maintained our growth in the large business market, particularly in New South Wales and Victoria where sales volumes rose by 56% and 31% respectively. This growth was supplemented by our entry into the small business market which began on 1 July 2013 with more than 10,000 sites in New South Wales contracted. We have signed ‘multi-site’ contracts and aim for similar success with ‘single site’ customers as marketing drives traffic to our online sign-up portal. We finished FY 2014 billing with more than 24,000 customer sites including more than 14,000 small business sites. Our forward contract sales over the next two years are 23.6TWh, including a $900m contract with the NSW Government and $100m contract extension with the Federal Government, both signed in FY 2014 and to commence in FY 2016. The working capital component of our financing facility from Macquarie Bank Ltd was increased to $160m from $100m to support the continued growth of our electricity sales business. For the third successive year ERM Business Energy was ranked number 1 for customer satisfaction3 in business electricity and we maintained our operational excellence with billing accuracy and billing collection rates above 99%, which were achieved with our industry-leading, internally-developed systems and processes. We have been reviewing a number of new markets in which to expand our successful business energy retail model. The United States had been identified as a possible new market for the Company and a feasibility study commenced during the year to determine the viability of establishing a business in the US. 1 Refer to Glossary of Management Discussion and Analysis. 2 Refer to Appendix A1.2 of the Management Discussion and Analysis for details of the Significant Items.

  • Two Towers: a Comparison of the Regulatory Regimes Which Affect New Electricity Transmission Lines and Wind Farms in Queensland
    Complete Citation: Tranter, Mark (2006). Two towers: a comparison of the regulatory regimes which affect new electricity transmission lines and wind farms in Queensland. Environmental and Planning Law Journal, 23 (5). pp.351-364. ISSN 0813-300X. Accessed from USQ ePrints http://eprints.usq.edu.au Two Towers: A comparison of the regulatory regimes which affect new electricity transmission lines and wind farms in Queensland Mark Tranter* Wind farms represent a clean and sustainable method of generation of electricity, while high voltage overhead power transmission towers and lines represent the old fashioned approach to transmission of energy. Both share a common characteristic which is their visual impact on the environment. This article looks at two recent developments on the Darling Downs in South East Queensland, one a 75 turbine windfarm, the other a 90 km 330 kilovolt transmission line. The article looks at the regulatory framework which governs both developments in the local and Commonwealth jurisdictions. It draws more general conclusions about the ability of those affected by those developments to gain a merits review of their objections as well as the unequal regulatory playing field which favours the traditional method of electricity transmission as compared to the greener method of electricity generation. INTRODUCTION This article concerns two electricity related developments on the Eastern Darling Downs near Toowoomba in South Eastern Queensland. One is the proposal by Powerlink, the Queensland government owned transmission entity,1 to build a 90 km, 330KV dual circuit overhead transmission * Senior Lecturer (Law) Faculty of Business and Member, Australian Centre for Sustainable Catchments, University of Southern Queensland, Toowoomba.

Capital Statement Budget Highlights Appropriation Bills Ministerial Portfolio Statements Queensland the Smart State – Water for the Future The Ministerial Portfolio Statements (MPS) are the primary source of information for the hearings of the Parliamentary Estimates Committees. These hearings examine the funding provided in the State Budget to each Ministerial portfolio and take place following the presentation of the Budget. The MPS are also used by Members of Parliament, the media, the public and other interested parties for obtaining information on key strategies and prospective outcomes, and financial performance, of individual Queensland Government agencies in 2007-08. The MPS are forward looking in their focus and provide predominantly budgeted financial and non-financial information for the new financial year. In this way, they complement agency annual reports, which document actual performance (including audited financial statements) for the financial year just completed. Given the timing of the 2007-08 Budget, final information about actual financial and non-financial performance is not yet available for the 2006-07 financial year. Therefore, an estimate of performance (‘estimated actual’) for 2006-07 is shown throughout the MPS. The MPS forms part of the 2007-08 State Budget Papers.

  • Shell Energy Australia – Has Expanded Our Gas Trading Portfolio Into the Southern Domestic Gas Market, Introducing Competition
    2020 Biennial review into liquidity in wholesale and gas pipeline trading markets AEMC – consultation on scoping paper SHELL AUSTRALIA RESPONSE 20 February 2020 Shell is a global group of energy companies, with its headquarters in The Hague, the Netherlands. Shell operates in over 70 countries around the world and has been investing in Australia since 1901. Australia continues to be a priority market for Shell’s investment as Australia trends towards greater electrification in line with consumer needs for a lower-emissions energy system. On the east-coast, Shell has a majority interest in and operates the QGC-LNG project in Queensland. Through this project we have a strong presence in the east-coast gas market, supplying both domestic and LNG customers. The energy trading venture – Shell Energy Australia – has expanded our gas trading portfolio into the southern domestic gas market, introducing competition. We also operate the 144MW Condamine Power Station in the National Electricity Market (NEM). 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. As investment in renewable generation continues to grow, natural gas will have an important role as a fuel source for gas-fired generators to provide firming and security services to the grid.
