Integrated Reporting Financial Review 32 This report has been prepared with reference to the International Integrated Reporting Council’s (IIRC) International Integrated Governance Summary 57 Reporting Framework, as we believe it provides a useful basis for disclosing how we create sustainable value for our shareholders Board of Directors 61 and other stakeholders over time. We have used the framework to demonstrate how consideration of risks and opportunities (both those arising from our business and those that exist in a Remuneration Report 67 broader operational context), our purpose and our values drive our strategy. We have also considered how the execution of Other Required Disclosures 92 our strategy creates value, applying a lens that is broader than financial performance alone. Financial Report 94 AGL follows the guidance provided by the Financial Stability Board's Task Force on Climate-Related Financial Disclosures Shareholding Information 179 voluntary disclosure framework (TCFD Framework). 'Pathways to 2050', our FY20 TCFD report which accompanies the Annual Report, details how we consider governance, risk management, Investor Information 181 strategy, and metrics and targets in relation to climate change. A summary of the TCFD disclosures is also included as part of the Glossary for the Business Environment Business Value Driver scorecard on page 21.

AGL Energy Limited Annual Report 2020 | 1 During the bushfire season, we acted swiftly to provide support to our customers, our people and the affected communities by providing targeted debt waivers and billing pauses for affected customers and bill credits for AGL customers who were front line volunteers. I am particularly proud of the way AGL and its people are responding during the COVID-19 pandemic, including by adopting new ways of working with a large proportion of the workforce pivoting to remote working while a number of AGL's people at generation sites continue to work with additional health and safety measures in place so that there is no disruption to customer experience and AGL's operations. Letter from We continue to support our community partners as well as our affected customers the Chairman through our hardship programs. As the world continues its response to the COVID-19 pandemic, the full extent of the impact on Australia and its economy remains unclear "I am pleased to present AGL’s annual and energy markets in Australia continue to experience uncertainty report for the financial year ended and volatility. The impacts on the energy markets to which AGL is exposed, not least wholesale electricity and gas prices have been 30 June 2020 (FY20)." profound, while many customers are facing levels of hardship that directly impact their ability to pay their bills. In recognition of the financial stress that our customers are facing as a result of the pandemic, in March 2020 AGL launched its COVID-19 Customer Support Program. The program included access to deferred payments until 31 July 2020 and waiving disconnection and reconnection fees for small businesses forced to temporarily close. AGL continues to provide ongoing payment support options to customers who cannot pay their bills because they have lost their job or business, or because their health has been impacted by the pandemic.

    NSW Infrastructure Capability Assessment Energy Baseline Report April 2012 This document is intended solely for the use and information of Infrastructure NSW Report Outline • Key Highlights • Introduction • Energy Industry Overview and Current Situation • Electricity • Gas 22 Key Highlights – Electricity • The majority of electricity generation and all transmission and distribution infrastructure assets in NSW are government owned • The NSW government recently privatised the retail electricity sector and announced plans to sell electricity generation assets • 82% (or 16,600MW) of electricity in NSW is generated by 4 key state owned corporations . Electricity is transmitted over a 12,000km transmission system and distributed over ~250,000km distribution system. The book value of this infrastructure is $34bn and the annual capital expenditure is around $4.5bn • Electricity infrastructure is planned through a number of national and operator network plans including the Electricity Statement of Opportunities, the National Transmission Network Development Plan, TransGrid's Annual Transmission Network Development Plan, the distributors Annual Network Development Plans and Performance Reports, and the 5-year Regulatory Proposals and Determinations by the Australian Energy Regulator • These reports provide evidence that, while a number of the state owned electricity distribution assets are beyond or approaching their standard design lives, electricity infrastructure appears to be in good condition and is capable of meeting demand • The performance of electricity generation, transmission and distribution infrastructure is monitored via a number of indicators. The NSW Government sets reliability and security standards through its Network licences. Key electricity operating licence performance indicators such as the average duration and frequency of interruptions have been improving over time • Electricity demand has been flat for the past 5 years partly due to slower economic growth, efficiency and in response to large price increases.

  • Energy Charter 2020 IAP Disclosure.Pdf
    2020 Disclosure Report to the IAP Leveraging high impact points to drive meaningful change for customers Message from our Chair The Energy Charter, starting to deliver The Energy Charter is a whole of sector initiative of 19 CEOs working together across electricity, gas and renewables to put customers at the centre of our businesses. We are not an industry body or a regulator – the Energy Charter is focused outward, on our customers, not on ourselves. We aim for “highest common denominator” – pushing each other to deliver for customers by promoting examples of best practice for signatories to adopt and collaborating in targeted groups to deliver specific projects through our #BetterTogether initiatives. Last year was foundational for the Energy Charter. In 2020, it is all about delivery: what is different and better for our customers because the Energy Charter exists? This has been an extremely challenging year for our customers, communities and signatories with bushfires, floods and the COVID-19 pandemic. However, with these challenges also come unique opportunities to better support Australians, to step beyond business-as-usual and demonstrate as a sector we are working together on the vision of the Energy Charter to “deliver energy for a better Australia”. REAL CHANGE FOR CUSTOMERS What have we done that has made an actual difference for the customer this year? My top three: 1. Stakeholders have told us that it is hard to get an overall picture of the level of customer service that the industry provides. In response, we have committed that each signatory will disclose their customer satisfaction scores.

Two key concerns dominate the discussion of agricultural energy: pricing volatility of energy and government policy supporting renewable energy. Together these concerns have resulted in a stimulated interest in the potential substitutes for fossil fuels. A scarcity in energy sources (particularly crude oil) has highlighted the dependence of energy-related agricultural inputs such as fertilizer, electricity and fuels for farm plant and irrigation pumping. As government policies develop, environmental concerns related to global climate change and market signals from the consumer to improve sustainability have encouraged investigation of alternative energy sources to transform the relationship between the energy and agriculture sectors.
