  • 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.

Our comments are confined to the proposed allowance for TransGrid’s operating and maintenance expenditure over the next five year revenue determination. Macquarie Generation fully understands the ACCC’s obligation to ensure that regulated revenue targets are based on reasonable assumptions and forecasts. We are also acutely aware that the transmission network infrastructure provides the platform for competition amongst generators throughout the National Electricity Market. Overly conservative allowances for operating and maintenance expenditure will affect the performance of the wholesale market if the timing of network outages is not responsive to likely market impacts. Customers may ultimately pay more for electricity if the regulator does not provide sufficient flexibility for the monopoly network provider to plan and reschedule major outage work. The ACCC draft decision provides almost $90 million less for operating and maintenance expenditure over the five years to 30th June 2009 than that sought by TransGrid in its initial application.
