Affordable, reliable and sustainable energy is a basic expectation of Australians, both consumers and businesses. We live in a country with bountiful energy resources, and yet in recent times, we’ve incurred rising energy bills and concerns about having sufficient energy supply to meet demand. As a leading energy infrastructure business, APA is committed to playing its part within the broader energy sector to work towards solving Australia’s energy trilemma. A collaborative and innovative approach combining the commitments and skills of the whole energy supply chain and governments is what is required. As we work towards our vision of connecting Australia to its energy future, we will play our part in ensuring that energy is affordable, reliable and sustainable for us all.

APA’s vision is to connect Australia to its energy future. That future has rapidly evolved particularly in recent years, with influences from both domestic circumstances such as our dynamic energy markets and government policy, and globally with demand for Australia’s energy resources and calls for action on climate change. APA plays a key role in enabling Australian consumers and businesses to have access to affordable, reliable and sustainable energy. During the 2018 financial year, we stepped up our commitment to this role, working with industry and our customers and investing over $700 million in new organic growth projects that will contribute to providing a solution to Australia’s energy trilemma. In my first year as your Chairman, I am delighted to share some highlights about the progress APA has made in delivering on its strategy this past financial year. Since its inception in 2000, APA has gone from strength to strength and our disciplined investment approach has delivered a portfolio of assets that we own and/or operate of over $20 billion. APA’s vision to connect Australia to its energy future is being realised as we progress our strategic growth trajectory and continue to deliver value for our Securityholders. Financial results In FY2018, APA has presented the market with a solid set of financial results. Revenue has increased by 2.8 per cent to $1,941.4 million (1). Off the back of the growth that we continue to deliver, earnings before interest, tax, depreciation and amortisation (EBITDA) have increased by 3.3 per cent to $1,518.5 million and net profit after tax has increased by 11.8 per cent to $264.8 million. The very nature of APA’s business enables predictable results for our Securityholders that are largely unaffected by market conditions. This is achieved through the longevity of our contracts to supply energy and services to our customers. These contracts, in turn, support the ongoing investment in our infrastructure. Over the last few years, the Australian market has been challenged by fluctuating commodity prices. We are conscious that the relative price of these commodities may have an impact on our customer’s demand for infrastructure in the future. By applying a customer centric approach, APA sees itself as an energy industry team player with the ability to offer flexible services that meet our customers’ long-term needs. Our total distributions for FY2018 of 45 cents per security represent a 3.4 per cent increase over distributions for FY2017. Securityholders have also benefited from a total of 6.33 cents per security of franking credits which accompany the distributions. In accordance with our distribution policy, distributions have been fully covered by operating cash flows. A portion of these cash flows have also been retained within the business to support our ongoing growth. With growth continuing to drive our strategy, we are working on in excess of $1.4 billion of growth projects that have been agreed with our customers to meet their future energy needs. In FY2018, APA commissioned the Emu Downs Solar Farm, Reedy Creek Wallumbilla Pipeline, the Mt Morgans Gas Pipeline and the Yamarna Gas Pipeline. 1) Total revenue, excluding pass-through (revenue on which no margin is earned).

  • Alinta Energy with the Opportunity to Provide Comment on the WEM Effectiveness Report Issues Paper
    16 December 2019 Transmission via online submission form: https://www.erawa.com.au/consultation Report to the Minister for Energy on the Effectiveness of the Wholesale Electricity Market 2019 Issues paper Thank you for providing Alinta Energy with the opportunity to provide comment on the WEM effectiveness report issues paper. The ERA has identified that the reform process is addressing many of the elements raised in previous WEM effectiveness reports. However, the ERA has highlighted an issue that does not appear to be within the reform scope, specifically the impact that network decisions can have in influencing outcomes in the WEM (and the resultant impacts on market cost optimisation). Alinta Energy supports a mechanism to ensure that network outage planning chooses the overall least cost plan Western Australia is an attractive market for renewables investment given the abundance of natural resources and the market design characteristics. However, significant support and industry leadership was required to allow new renewable generators to connect to the network in a timely manner under the interim access solution (known as the Generator Interim Access or GIA). The underlying principle of the GIA solution is that it applies constraints to limit the output of a GIA generator when network capacity is limited. This includes: • A dynamic (real-time) assessment and application of constraints during system normal; and • Manual assessment and application of constraints in other circumstances (i.e. when there is a planned outage on any network element that impacts the GIA generator). Badgingarra Wind Farm (BWF)1 is the first GIA generator in commercial operation on SWIS.

  • Energy Transition Initiative Announcement
    Embargoed until 12.01am, Monday 27 July, 2020 Media release Industry heavyweights come together to forge pathways towards a decarbonised future Some of Australian industry’s biggest companies are supporting a new initiative that will see them work together to better understand pathways to achieving net zero emissions in supply chains. BHP, Woodside, BlueScope Steel, BP Australia, Orica, APA Group and Australia Gas Infrastructure Group – which together represent 13.6 per cent of Australian industrial emissions – have signed on to the Australian Industry Energy Transitions Initiative. They are joined by National Australia Bank, Schneider Electric and Australian Super, who represent the broader system of investments, services, products and knowledge that will be key to supporting industry action towards net-zero supply chains. Independent, not-for-profit bodies ClimateWorks Australia and Climate-KIC Australia are conveners of the Australian Industry ETI, in collaboration with the Energy Transitions Commission. It has been developed with the generous support of philanthropic donations, company contributions and funding from the Australian Government, through the Australian Renewable Energy Agency. It is supported by the Australian Industry Group and the Australian Industry Greenhouse Network, with research partners including CSIRO and the Rocky Mountain Institute. The initiative aims to set Australian industry up for a success in a decarbonised global economy, by harnessing industry knowledge to develop pathways and actions that can accelerate emissions reductions across whole supply chains – in sectors where abatement has traditionally faced structural challenges. Specifically, it will focus on opportunities across five supply chains which collectively contribute more than a quarter of Australia’s annual greenhouse gas emissions and generate exports worth around $160 billion.

The AEMC appointed consultants to develop a long-term generation expansion plan for meeting the LRET. Consequently, the ‘core’ scenarios for the portfolio and geographic distribution of technologies have been determined. ROAM Consulting was subsequently appointed to utilise these scenarios to forecast the cost of Frequency Control Ancillary Services (FCAS), Network Support and Control Ancillary Services (NSCAS) and transmission augmentation associated with the LRET for the National Electricity Market (NEM) and the South West Interconnected System (SWIS).
