ENERGY CHARGES

The energy charges relate to the raw cost of energy which is traded in the national electricity market. This portion of the charges is negotiable and the consumer can enter into a contract with the retailer of their choice.

The contracted energy prices are multiplied by distribution and transmission loss factors to arrive at the final prices. The loss factors relate to the energy losses that take place during the transmission and distribution of electricity. Transmission losses vary by geographic location and distribution losses vary according to the voltage at which the supply is taken. Loss factors are regulated and apply for one year commencing July each year. The Australian Energy Market Operator publishes loss factors

NETWORK CHARGES

The network charges are based on tariffs approved by the Australian Energy Regulator.

The electricity tariff is the pricing structure charged by the electricity retailer to the customer. This has a big influence on how your electricity prices are calculated. Your electricity tariff includes the “fixed charge” for supplying electricity to your business, and the “variable charge” for the amount of electricity you use.

Electricity tariffs (and therefore, electricity prices) vary according to state, region, your energy provider, the type of meter and more. The Network Use of System charges (ie the network tariff) make up a significant percentage of your total electricity

The retailers are obliged to source specified quantities of electricity from renewable sources and there is a cost associated with this. All retailers raise these charges.

The Large Scale Renewable Energy Target (LRET) applies to generation by larger renewable energy schemes such as wind farms, geothermal and commercial solar.

The Small Scale Renewable Energy Scheme (SRES) applies to small schemes such as domestic solar installations and small wind turbines. Some retailers fix these charges at the time of contracting and others revise them from time to time.

The prices of LRET and SRES certificates are dictated by market forces and vary by retailer. Prices for SRES certificates are stable but LRET certificate prices have increased significantly in recent time owing to the shortage of certificates. This is due to inadequate new investment into renewables projects.

    Bernie Sanders said, “Every day we are paying more for energy than we should due to poor insulation, inefficient lights, appliances, and heating and cooling equipment - money we could save by investing in energy efficiency”. My family’s pre-home energy bill correlates to what Mr. Sanders was saying. They were paying more than they had to due to poorly conserving energy. My FPL bill prior to this project was $210.63, which was normal since it was the summer and the air conditioning unit was always on. The plan initially was that a lot of sacrifices were going to have to be made to lower the bill.…

    Australia’s climate change policy Like other countries, Australia has drawn on a wide range of measures for reducing its greenhouse gas emissions. Since the late 1980s, climate change policies have been introduced at all levels of government. Climate change policies began with voluntary schemes such as energy labelling (initially in New South Wales and Victoria from 1986) and the national Greenhouse Challenge Program for industry from 1995. Energy labelling was made mandatory from 1992 and progressed to minimum standards on a range of devices from 1999 (including refrigerators, freezers and air conditioners).…

    My organization’s values are in a transition period as our industry changes on a broad scale, and as we go through a management change. In general, a similar group of basic assumptions has been at the core of the power industry for a long time (Bassham, 2016). These basic assumptions typically align with the view that our customers are only ratepayers, and our only obligation to them is to keep their lights on. Our new management has, along with a growing percentage of the industry, began to focus on values that view our customers as partners, and we have an obligation to listen to them and deliver what they want. But, as Kreitner and Kinicki (2013) discuss in the text because these basic assumptions are so ingrained and deep-rooted, they are very difficult to…
