    NSW Infrastructure Capability Assessment: Energy Baseline Report

    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.

The AER confirmed on 28 September 2020 that: “…the AER considers that the updated cost benefit analysis provides a not unreasonable basis for ElectraNet’s opinion that PEC remains the preferred option. We expect both ElectraNet and TransGrid to submit full and complete contingent project applications for PEC as soon as possible.” On 29 September 2020, the ElectraNet Board approved submission of a contingent project application (CPA) based on the AER’s confirmation and the CPA was submitted to the AER on 30 September 2020. This note reviews several subsequently announced policies and other changes in the National Electricity Market (NEM) and considers the impact that these could have on the benefits of PEC.

    9/06/2021 Dr Kerry Schott AO Chair, Energy Security Board Lodged by Email: [email protected] Dear Dr Schott

    ABN 70 250 995 390 180 Thomas Street, Sydney PO Box A1000 Sydney South NSW 1235 Australia T (02) 9284 3000 F (02) 9284 3456 9/06/2021 Dr Kerry Schott AO Chair, Energy Security Board Lodged by email: [email protected] Dear Dr Schott, Submission to the Energy Security Board’s post 2025 market design options paper We welcome the opportunity to respond to the Energy Security Board’s (ESB) post 2025 market design options paper. Australia is in the midst of an energy transition and the energy system is evolving at a rapid pace. TransGrid’s responsibility during this transition and beyond is to invest in, operate and manage our transmission network safely, securely and efficiently in the long-term interests of consumers. To this end, our Board has very recently made a Final Investment Decision to proceed with the construction of Project EnergyConnect (PEC), a high voltage interconnector between New South Wales and South Australia. We strongly support the work of the ESB to ensure that the National Electricity Market (NEM) design is fit for purpose and provides for a reliable and affordable supply of electricity to consumers. Our view is that it is essential that the post 2025 market design provides consumers with reliable and secure power at lower cost through: Ensuring that a centralised transmission network continues to be the backbone of the energy system - to enable efficiently located, large scale storage and renewable generation in the NEM. The connection of large scale renewable energy zones (REZs) to the grid as well as greater interconnection between the NEM regions will deliver this.

ElectraNet completed the Regulatory Investment Test for Transmission (RIT-T) with the release of a Project Assessment Conclusion Report (PACR) on 13 February 2019, which concluded that Project EnergyConnect was the preferred option that satisfied the requirements of the RIT-T. On 24 January 2020 the Australian Energy Regulator (AER) issued a formal determination that found that ElectraNet had correctly identified Project EnergyConnect as the preferred option. The National Electricity Rules (NER) require ElectraNet to consider whether, in its reasonable opinion, there has been a “material change in circumstances” that might lead to a change in the preferred option and thereby potentially require reapplication of the RIT-T.
