    132 UNITED: A HISTORY OF THE MUNICIPAL EMPLOYEES UNION IN NSW 15 The Electricity Industry rom its earliest years the Union became involved in the electricity industry, enrolling F members employed in various classifications in the Electricity Department of the City Council, including workers at Pyrmont Power Station, but not embracing those employed as tradesmen.1 Issues over pay and conditions, seniority, and redundancies occurred regularly, particularly with fluctuations in the need for power supply. One early issue in 1915 was that time clocks were not opened until the precise time of ceasing work, which meant that employees could not have a bath before then, resulting in delays in leaving the premises and consequently missed transport connections. This was rectified by management agreeing to open time clocks five minutes before ceasing time.2 By 1924, the City Council had gradually extended its electricity supply area, retailing its power in thirty-four Sydney suburbs, and supplying electricity in bulk to another seven suburbs. However, to achieve this, the City Council had to purchase electricity from the Railway Commissioners. To meet increasing demands, the City Council then constructed the largest electricity generating power station in the Southern Hemisphere, seven miles (eleven kms.) from central Sydney, on the northern shore of Botany Bay. It was called Bunnerong (Aboriginal for Sleeping Lizard), the name of the area on which it was constructed. It was stated in 1928 that “it would stand as a monumental work of members of the Union, who were mainly employed on its construction, there being on site about one thousand employees”.3 Bunnerong Power Station Source: S.

Built across a decade of construction at the culmination of the Second World War, the power station was the result of a drawn archive of over 8000 architectural drawings, which meticulously document every element and fragment of the building: its siting, its detailing, the machinery and its eventual operation and connection with the state’s electrical grid.

The Impact of Supply Chains on Productivity and Financial Performance of Power Producers in Australia. Nedal Aburadi The thesis submitted in fulfilment for the requirements of the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Bond University Faculty of Society & Design November 2016 Abstract Over the past 10-20 years, Australian federal and state governments have introduced dramatic changes to the Australian power generation market to boost competitiveness and aid with the rapid development of the Australian power generation industry and businesses. These changes included the deregulation, disaggregation and privatisation of the power generation companies and supply chains, resulting in the formation of a new regulatory and management framework called the National Electricity Market. As a result, a variety of different strongly heterogeneous power providers and market operators have emerged in Australia, drastically changing the business environment and causing significant gaps in our understanding of how to manage and regulate this environment in an efficient way.

Today this industry is so highly developed technically so enormous in size and so far reaching in effect that it is difficult to realise fully just how young it is in years. The first occasion on which electricity was generated for sale to the public in America was in September 1879 when the California Electric Light Co. commenced operations in San Francisco. The Company's first plant consisted of two generators, one supplying six lamps, the other sixteen lamps. The first occasion on which electricity was used for street lighting was in 1878 when sixteen arc lamps were installed in the Avenue de Opera, Paris, France. Soon a number of lighting systems employing arc-lamps were built and used in England, Europe and America for outdoor purposes and for stage illumination in theatres.

(Signed) Kenneth David Thornton 3 4 Acknowledgments I wish to acknowledge the following people and organisations for their invaluable help. First, research would have been extremely difficult, if not impossible to complete, without the assistance of my former employer, Eraring Energy. In particular, Managing Director, Peter Jackson, for allowing me to use the facilities at Eraring Power Station even though I had retired. Corporate Information Managers, Joanne Golding and Daniel Smith for providing access to a wealth of primary sources and for not complaining when I commandeered a corner of their work area to further my research. Many former colleagues of the Electricity Commission of New South Wales, Pacific Power and Eraring Energy, who gave of their time and expertise in the form of answering questionnaires or actual interviews.
