Project

Review of the Australian wholesale energy trading market for EnergyAustralia.

Client

Strategy Australia was selected to undertake a review of the Australian wholesale energy, retailing, and trading markets for Australia’s largest energy company. The project included strategically critical work, which involved working with the CEO and the trading division.

Objective

To gain insights from key electricity generators that might mitigate some trading risks.

Outcome

The project included interviewing CEOs of all major energy generation, transmission, and retailing organisations in all states of Australia. One of the key findings was the potential for the generators to communicate when critical generating assets were offline due to reactive (failures), predictive and planned maintenance. This allowed the greater visibility of demand and supply ultimately leading to fairer peak energy trading.
