Energy & Utility Summit 08
Our Managing Director spoke at the Australian Energy
& Utility Summit 08 in Sydney, and touched on a
number of points, including:
1) The
extremes of price volatility
that were experienced over winter 2007 in the NEM
2) The
depressed prices that had been
experienced in the NEM in winter 2008 (in contrast),
at least up until that point!
3) The recently released
demand forecasts for NSW, as
published by TranGrid; and
4) Emerging concerns with respect to
gas supplies in the NEM, particularly the
increased demand likely under an Emissions Trading Scheme.

12th March

Queensland Energy 2008
Our Managing Director spoke at the Queensland Energy
conference on the 12th March, specifically addressing
the topic of price volatility in the NEM
To provide the basis of discussion during the
conference, we focused our analysis solely on
Queensland region (to make the topic more manageable).
In our review of volatility in the Queensland region,
we focused specifically on 3 core attributes of the market:
1) Queensland dispatch prices;
2) NEM-Wide Instantaneous Reserve Plant Margin; and
3) the concept of “Economic Islands”.
This presentation
generated a deal of interest
in the press, and elsewhere.
A synopsis of the presentation is provided on
WattClarity®, our industry
commentary website.

We have not taken the time to detail our involvement
in conferences prior to this time.
