Our Heritage Developing the No Our Heritage Developing The No. 1 The story of electricity supply and transmission in South Australia South Australia Converter From its very inception, the electricity supply network in South Australia has been helping our State develop and grow. In its early days, the advent of Station electricity supply rapidly improved the quality of life of South Australians and as the State matured, the transmission network’s increasing reach opened up new industries and opportunity. Today, our modern transmission network continues to support the people of South Australia by providing safe, affordable and reliable solutions to power homes, businesses and the economy. The building that hosts ElectraNet’s corporate headquarters in East Terrace was built in 1908 and originally used as an electrical converter station for Adelaide’s Municipal Tramways Trust.

  • A South Australia's Electricity and Gas Industries
    A South Australia's Electricity and Gas Industries Both the electricity and gas industries in South Australia have undergone a range of significant reforms over the last fifteen years, commencing with the vertical disaggregation of the electricity and gas supply chains in the mid-1990s and culminating with the introduction of FRC for customers of all sizes during 2003-04. In the wake of FRC, gas and electricity retailing in South Australia has moved from a single host retailer model to a multiple retailer model. The remainder of this appendix provides both an historic perspective on the reforms that were undertaken in advance of the introduction of FRC and an overview of the current structure of energy retailing. A.1. Progression to FRC A.1.1. Electricity industry progression to FRC Between 1946 and 1995, the Electricity Trust of South Australia (ETSA) was responsible for undertaking all aspects of the electricity supply chain in South Australia including the generation, transmission, distribution and retail sale of electricity. On 1 July 1995, the Electricity Trust of South Australia was corporatised and became ETSA Corporation under the Public Corporations Act 1993. In January 1997 the South Australian Government undertook the first steps towards vertical disaggregation, by transferring ETSA’s generation assets to SA Generation Corporation. The second step toward vertical disaggregation occurred in October 1998 when the South Australian Government announced that, in order to meet its commitments under the Competition Principles Agreement and in preparation for entry into the NEM, ETSA Corporation and SA Generation Corporation would need to be further disaggregated.
