Electricity Emissions
The green agenda is changing the way the industry works. Carbon reduction legislation will mean a more rigorous approach to energy generation and the use of renewable energy will accelerate the need for a flexible network. You must ensure that you rationalise emissions against a sound business model so that your business does not suffer. Information will be the key to managing this change effectively for your company.
MARKET CHALLENGES
Increasing regional and state-based climate change policies and long-term renewable energy
strategies will bring a profound change to the industry. You need to be able to meet these
challenges head on.
Greener generation: Generators have had to move towards greener generation technologies or pay higher taxes. Investment is needed in technologies that extract carbon from fossil fuel plants.
Changing transmission: Your networks need to accommodate offshore generation and connect newer technologies like onshore wind, hydro and tidal systems to the grid.
Evolving distribution: You need to manage the possibility of supporting an increasing number of microgenerators installed within your network when no such provision was made during the original planning.
A service led industry: Retailers have to morph from being ‘just energy’ companies to being energy services companies so that they can survive the impact of distributed and communitybased generation programmes. You will need to ensure that newer revenue streams are already in
place once the traditional energy supply business slows down.
As renewable energy becomes a regular part of our energy supply your business will evolve, and you need a flexible business model that can adapt quickly to these changes. Your main challenge is to meet the key emissions and renewables targets for 2020 and help establish a vision beyond that date to ensure your organisation’s success.
