  • Loddon Mallee Renewable Energy Roadmap
    Loddon Mallee Region Renewable Energy Roadmap Loddon Mallee Renewable Energy Roadmap Foreword On behalf of the Victorian Government, I am pleased to present the Victorian Regional Renewable Energy Roadmaps. As we transition to cleaner energy with new opportunities for jobs and greater security of supply, we are looking to empower communities, accelerate renewable energy and build a more sustainable and prosperous state. Victoria is leading the way to meet the challenges of climate change by enshrining our Victorian Renewable Energy Targets (VRET) into law: 25 per cent by 2020, rising to 40 per cent by 2025 and 50 per cent by 2030. Achieving the 2030 target is expected to boost the Victorian economy by $5.8 billion - driving metro, regional and rural industry and supply chain development. It will create around 4,000 full time jobs a year and cut power costs. It will also give the renewable energy sector the confidence it needs to invest in renewable projects and help Victorians take control of their energy needs. Communities across Barwon South West, Gippsland, Grampians and Loddon Mallee have been involved in discussions to help define how Victoria transitions to a renewable energy economy. These Roadmaps articulate our regional communities’ vision for a renewable energy future, identify opportunities to attract investment and better understand their community’s engagement and capacity to transition to renewable energy. Each Roadmap has developed individual regional renewable energy strategies to provide intelligence to business, industry and communities seeking to establish or expand new energy technology development, manufacturing or renewable energy generation in Victoria. The scale of change will be significant, but so will the opportunities.

    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.

The Jemena Electricity Networks (JEN) service area covers 950 square kilometres of northwest greater Melbourne and includes the Melbourne International Airport, which is located at the approximate physical centre of the network, and some major transport routes. The network comprises over 6,0001 kilometres of electricity distribution lines and cables, delivering approximately 4,400 GWh of energy to over 345,000 homes and businesses for a number of energy retailers. The network service area ranges from Couangalt, Clarkefield and Mickleham in the north to Williamstown and Footscray in the south and from Hillside, Sydenham and Brooklyn in the west to Yallambie and Heidelberg in the east. The 2018 Distribution Annual Planning Report (DAPR) details the past performance of Jemena’s electricity network, summarises the asset management, demand forecasting and network development methodologies adopted by Jemena, and presents forecast electricity demand for the forward planning period (five year planning period from 2019 to 2023). The report also identifies existing and emerging network limitations to supplying forecast demand, and identifies and proposes credible options to alleviate or manage the identified electricity network limitations.
