30 Conclusions and recommendations Page 30
31 High level strategic themes Cost reflective pricing for consumers Need for interoperability standards Existing COAG Energy Council market reform program Jurisdictional government and industry leadership Innovation in technology and product deployment Consumer education and industry training Page 31
32 Fault Detection, Isolation & Restoration FDIR has the potential to deliver significant economic benefits heavily dependent on the value of customer reliability (currently being reviewed by AEMO) Page 32
33 Smart Meter Infrastructure (SMI) Two value propositions modeled: Full deployment, termed stand-alone Customer-led, with the smart grid case assuming uptake with installation of DG or DS Enabling infrastructure Page 33
34 SMI (stand-alone or full deployment) Not yet economic (with the exception of some long-rural network topologies in some states) Avoided billing, metering and customer service costs for urban and short rural network not sufficient to offset capital costs for SMI Page 34
35 SMI + Dynamic Tariffs + Cust Feedback Clear positive economic case for immediate deployment of dynamic tariffs in Australia (requiring SMI) If dynamic tariffs are voluntary, not all customers will adopt the offer Page 35
36 Meters (Millions) SMI Deployment Predictions Spinning Disc Full Deployment VIC Rollout Customer Led Page 36
37 SMI + Dynamic Tariffs + Cust Feedback (2) Without dynamic tariffs customers will be presented with a strong financial incentive to install larger distributed generation systems If inclining block (or flat) tariffs are maintained in Australia it is unlikely that distributed storage will be deployed due to a lack of financial incentives Page 37
38 Overall savings Customer Research Survey Results Key findings relating to dynamic pricing High satisfaction with SGSC Customer Applications network & retail products Most popular trial products involved discrete peak events BudgetSmart also popular Financially vulnerable customers derived more benefit and satisfaction from products than other households 0 Daily or 2-3 times per week Weekly or less often Engagement with feedback technology vs. overall savings Page 38
39 DG + DS + SMI + Dynamic Tariffs Dynamic pricing drives the deployment of smaller solar PV systems and CHP compared to BAU Balanced by the deployment of around 3.5 GW of storage capacity Under BAU, negligible storage is likely to be deployed Page 39
