A significant change during the year was the restructure of AusNet Services’ triple stapled security structure into a single entity, AusNet Services Ltd. The simplified structure broadens investor appeal, reduces administration costs, provides greater certainty in relation to the tax position of the company’s capital structure and improves the ability to distribute available franking credits to shareholders.

    POST-SHOW REPORT 2016 sponsors and exhibitors included: +61 (0)2 8188 7597 [email protected] www.energyweek.com.au | 1 AUSTRALIAN ENERGY WEEK 2016 REVIEW FROM THE CHAIR Dear Energy Executive, More than 400 attendees at Australian Energy Week in Melbourne in mid-June had the benefit of 88 expert presenters and panelists over 4 days, across 8 different tracks. They covered a wide range of issues that stand between the Australian community and achievement of the CoAG Energy Council’s recently-announced goal of integrating energy and climate change policies to deliver secure supply and the lowest possible prices. Not surprisingly, much of the speakers’ focus - and the audience’s questions - was on the drivers for change and the need for a durable, bipartisan approach to settle investors’ nerves and to encourage lenders’ support for new developments. One of the most interesting questions was posed by speaker Roberto Bocco, Head of Energy Industries at the World Economic Forum. “We are witnessing a continuous trend for decarbonisation,” he said, “but what if the future of energy is different from what we are expecting?” Diversity among leading nations pursuing the transformation of electricity supply, he pointed out, highlights that there is no single pathway to a more affordable, sustainable and secure energy system. The capacity of the Australian Energy Week presenters to pursue the prospects of diversity and the differing pathways to our national energy future was, I think, the major strength of the conference - which will be held again in Melbourne in May next year. Feedback from the attendees thronging the Albert Park venue for the event repeatedly pointed to the benefits of being exposed to a wide range of views in an environment notable for calm discussion - and, having organised and participated in a multitude of conferences over the past 35 years, I was struck by the high level of networking I saw around me.

Market Snapshot The National Electricity Market (NEM) is the wholesale electricity market that delivers electricity to almost 10 million homes and businesses in Australia. Established in December 1998, it’s one of the largest geographically interconnected power systems in the world, covering a distance of approximately 4,500 kilometres through New South Wales, Queensland, South Australia, Victoria, Tasmania and the Australian Capital Territory. The aim of the NEM is to make sure electricity is available when it’s needed, in a cost effective and reliable way. There are three main participants in the NEM: • Generators, which are coal, natural gas and renewable power stations that sell electricity to the market. • Distributors, who own and manage the infrastructure (poles and cables) which bring the electricity to residential and business customers. • Retailers, who buy electricity from the market. They then sell electricity on to residential and business customers. Click Energy is an Energy Retailer in Australia. Out of the 10 million residential consumers in Australia, the following percentages have switched to a market contract:1 • Victoria: 88% • South Australia: 84% • New South Wales: 69% • Queensland: 46% What is a distributor?
