Key drivers of current energy market disruption
![Page 6: Energy: The Disrupted Industry](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062503/58f9b6d71a28ab44118b45df/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
Increasing electrification
![Page 7: Energy: The Disrupted Industry](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062503/58f9b6d71a28ab44118b45df/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
Decreasing cost of Solar PV
![Page 8: Energy: The Disrupted Industry](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062503/58f9b6d71a28ab44118b45df/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Renewable energy solutions - especially solar - are increasingly becoming economically attractive.
However, they are ‘variable’ and require reliability in their supply.
![Page 9: Energy: The Disrupted Industry](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062503/58f9b6d71a28ab44118b45df/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Unprecedented investment from three giant industries is accelerating battery efficiencies, scale and economy:
CommunicationAutomotive
Energy

…energy storage has the potential to upend the industry structures, both physical and economic, that have defined power markets for the last century or more. McKinsey 2016

A few facts -traditional generation will struggle to cope
![Page 12: Energy: The Disrupted Industry](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062503/58f9b6d71a28ab44118b45df/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Prices will equalise across the globe
Australian electricity prices have risen and will stay higher for the foreseeable future
Through the LNG “bridge” energy is now an international commodity…

Duck Curve - energy demand net of predicted variable renewable generation, showing what “traditional” generation supply is required

Duck Curve - energy demand net of predicted variable renewable generation, showing what “traditional” generation supply is required
Solar energy production
reduces traditional generation during
the day…
![Page 15: Energy: The Disrupted Industry](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062503/58f9b6d71a28ab44118b45df/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Duck Curve - Solar energy production reduces traditional generation during the day…
…however produces an increased ‘rate-of- change-of-demand’ and a longer “neck” exacerbating the
traditional generation ‘ramp’ requirements
![Page 16: Energy: The Disrupted Industry](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062503/58f9b6d71a28ab44118b45df/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
We are seeing an increased length and steepness of the evening ramp…
Complementary solutions exist to ensure supply during these periods such as gas-fired generation, battery storage and pumped hydro.
…however traditional coal fired technology is less
responsive to these rapid changes in demand

A few facts -Traditional investors are not comfortable to invest
![Page 18: Energy: The Disrupted Industry](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062503/58f9b6d71a28ab44118b45df/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)

The need for investment has never been greater, however there has never been less clarity on whether to invest in traditional generation
Investors in large-scale generation require a long time (15+ years) to recover their investment
![Page 19: Energy: The Disrupted Industry](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062503/58f9b6d71a28ab44118b45df/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
While the return on the fixed costs is recovered over the life of the asset, variable costs must be recovered every time the asset is running
Renewable energy
=variable cost
Zero

The ability to create a return on new gas or coal investments and an acceptable cash flow is undermined by emerging competitive renewable generation and storage.
Without a suitable regulatory framework traditional investors will be sidelined.

Some predictions about the near term
![Page 22: Energy: The Disrupted Industry](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062503/58f9b6d71a28ab44118b45df/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
Some predictions about the near term
In the market
• Continued volatility:– Wholesale market will take
advantage of uncertainty to hold prices higher
– Demands for domestic gas will escalate
In parliament
• Increased calls for intervention, despite the risk to sovereign investment reputation
• Regulators will struggle to stay up with consumers demands and new technology deployment
![Page 23: Energy: The Disrupted Industry](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062503/58f9b6d71a28ab44118b45df/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
Some predictions about the near term
Behind the meter
• Solar battery combinations will promote the emergence of the ‘prosumer’ (producer-consumer)
• For commercial users, solar battery usage will proliferate, further eroding traditional generation, and exacerbating the ‘dusk’ curve
Business success
Innovation in financial models

Some predictions about the medium term
![Page 25: Energy: The Disrupted Industry](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062503/58f9b6d71a28ab44118b45df/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
Some predictions about the medium term
Energy Market
• Rules will be established to better incentivise:– Firm capacity generation – The technologies that provide grid
stability• Tariffs will encourage self
consumption, load shifting and storage
• Gas generation and battery technologies will be central to the solution
• Solar will continue to enjoy remarkable growth
• Coal demand will be in decline from 2025
Consumer
• As more low or zero variable cost energy is deployed, new paradigms will emerge:– The proliferation of the ‘prosumer’ trading
their surplus energy• Integrated home, car, supply, demand,
control etc.

Some predictions about the medium term
Current utilities
• Distributors – Will become enablers of
‘prosumers’ (physical energy flow, data management and net settlement agencies)
• Retailers– The slow demise of the energy
‘gentailer’ (generator – retailer) unless they facilitate the new consumer
![Page 27: Energy: The Disrupted Industry](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062503/58f9b6d71a28ab44118b45df/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
Some predictions about the medium term
Cheaper energy and more integrated energy use.
Retailers will charge a fixed price for energy no matter how much you use (a.k.a internet use).
![Page 28: Energy: The Disrupted Industry](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062503/58f9b6d71a28ab44118b45df/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
There is no energy crisis, however there is a need for steady policy implemented with a view to the long-term, and taking the input from industry experts rather than political bias.
![Page 29: Energy: The Disrupted Industry](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062503/58f9b6d71a28ab44118b45df/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
The disruption is here and it’s only going to increase.
At this time of energy sector disruption industry leaders need to lead…
This is not the time to sit back and hope for a sensible outcome.
![Page 30: Energy: The Disrupted Industry](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062503/58f9b6d71a28ab44118b45df/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
Industry leaders need to align and be heard:
• Educate yourself…• Be visionary…• Educate your staff…• Collaboration with your customers
and suppliers…• Put differences aside and look for
alignment…• Help provide solutions with the
long-term in mind
