  • 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.

  • 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.

  • Ron Clarke Scholarship 2020
    Athletics International Ron Clarke Scholarship 2020 OBJECTIVE The aim of the scholarship is to provide support for a middle distance/distance athlete to achieve his or her athletic and educational potential. The recipient will be expected to uphold those values demonstrated by Ron over his life: commitment to his athletic career, his education and his subsequent working life; support of the athletics community; and dedication to his family and other important relationships. RON’S CAREER Ron Clarke was truly a “renaissance man”. His lifetime achievements include being a successful businessman, an environmental crusader, Mayor of the Gold Coast for eight years, a philanthropist and a devoted family man. But it is as a runner that Ron is best known. Ron showed that distance runners could race hard, race fearlessly and race anyone. His assault on performance barriers was stunning: in his halcyon days Ron took almost 40 seconds off the world record for 10,000 metres between December 1963 and July 1965 (36 seconds in one race), and 18 seconds off the world record for 5000 between January 1965 and July 1966. Ron won an Olympic bronze medal at 10,000 in Tokyo in 1964 and silver medals at three miles at the Perth Commonwealth Games in 1962, at three and six miles in Kingston Jamaica in 1966 and at 10,000 metres in Edinburgh in 1970. In all, he set 17 world records over the period 1963 to 1968, in events ranging from 2 miles to one hour. RON’S CONTRIBUTION TO ATHLETICS INTERNATIONAL In the late 1960s, there was a dearth of international competition in Australia.
