The statement covers all sites owned or operated by CS Energy (as outlined on page 6) for the financial year ending 30 June 2020. In FY2020, CS Energy spent more than $575 million on goods and services from almost 1,200 vendors. We recognise that a business with this procurement spend has an important role to play in helping to prevent modern slavery. Our immediate focus in FY2020 was to gain an understanding of the modern slavery risks in our supply chains and to establish processes for addressing those risks, with our analysis concluding that the risk in our supply chain is low. -

Government Owned Corporations (Generator Restructure) Regulation 2011
Queensland Government Owned Corporations (Generator Restructure) Regulation 2011 Explanatory Notes for SL 2011 No. 126 made under the Government Owned Corporations Act 1993 General outline Short title Government Owned Corporations (Generator Restructure) Regulation 2011. Authorising law Section 161 of the Government Owned Corporations Act 1993 Policy objectives and the reasons for them The objective of the regulation is to give effect to the outcomes of the Shareholder Review of Queensland Government Owned Corporation Generators (‘the Generator Review’), the recommendations of which were announced by the then Treasurer and Minister for Employment and Economic Development on 25 November 2010. A key consideration of the Generator Review was to develop a model which would: Government Owned Corporations (Generator Restructure) Regulation 2011 • re-position the Government owned generators to respond to challenging market conditions, including competition from large vertically-integrated retailers and an impending carbon pollution reduction scheme; • enable the Government to best manage its portfolio of generation assets to ensure value for money for all Queenslanders; and • secure the ongoing viability of the generation assets. The Generator Review recommended that the current three Government owned generators (CS Energy Limited (‘CS Energy’), Stanwell Corporation Limited (‘Stanwell’) and Tarong Energy Corporation Limited (‘Tarong Energy’)) be amalgamated into two, and that the existing generation assets be reallocated between the two restructured entities. Following a period of consultation with employees of the three Government owned generators, the final reallocation of generation assets was announced by the Minister for Finance and The Arts on 10 March 2011. Achievement of policy objectives The regulation achieves its objectives by effecting the following reallocations of generation assets between the Government owned generators: 1. -
Queensland Energy Class Action
Queensland Energy Class Action Claim Summary Piper Alderman has been investigating anomalous spikes in the spot price of electricity in the Queensland region of the National Electricity Market (NEM) from 2013 through to 2019. From our research we believe it can be shown that certain price spikes have been caused by Queensland’s State owned electricity generators, Stanwell Corporation Limited and CS Energy Limited adopting “gaming” strategies in their supply of electricity. By gaming of the system the generators create artificial scarcity of supply in the NEM, inflate electricity prices for consumers and prevent other generators from competing for market share. In our view this conduct amounts to a contravention of section 46 of the Competition and Consumer Act 2010 (Cth) because the generators are misusing their market power for the purpose of deterring or preventing a person from engaging in competitive conduct in the NEM. We believe this conduct has caused significant losses to everyday consumers of electricity in Queensland by increasing the price of this essential service. This Qld Energy Class Action proposes to prove this conduct and recover that loss and damage for all consumers within the region. Who are the defendants to the class action? The defendants to the action are Stanwell Corporation Limited (Stanwell) and CS Energy Limited (CSE). Stanwell and CSE operate most of the black coal generating units in the Queensland region of the NEM, meaning they are largely responsible for supplying the minimum level of demand on an electrical grid over a span of time. This is the “baseload” for Queensland electricity consumption. -
