12 MARKET OPERATIONS Gas Demand Forecasting o Market participant forecasts adjusted against actual flow o Demand Override Methodology o Direct Call to Weather Forecasting Service Monitoring GPG o NEM Pre-dispatch Scheduling Pipeline Injections and Withdrawals o Market Clearing Engine generates schedules o Pricing Schedule Infinite Tank Model with no DTS pipeline capacity constraints o Operating Schedule Actual scheduled flows accounting for DTS capacity Peak Shaving LNG to support system pressure SLIDE 12

13 HOW THE VICTORIAN DTS IS DIFFERENT The Victorian DTS is complex and different o o Three main transmission pipelines two are bi-directional with interactions between these. Pipeline pressure and linepack variations are significant Supply sources and pipeline linepack o o DTS main supply sources Longford and the Port Campbell facilities are approx. 200 km from to Melbourne Sydney and Adelaide are each supplied by two pipelines approx. 1,000 km long more linepack than the DTS Victoria has the coldest winter of the mainland states and the highest residential gas demand o o o Demand varies substantially with temperature Weather forecast inaccuracies create demand uncertainty Gas Powered Generation impact on linepack SLIDE 13

14 SHORT TERM TRADING MARKET (STTM) AEMO is the market operator not the system operator o o o Pipeline owners continue to operate their assets AEMO is not responsible for system security STTM facility operators notify AEMO of supply issues via the Contingency Gas Hotline AEMO manages the Contingency Gas process Assessment Conferences Industry Conferences Contingency Gas determination Contingency Gas scheduling SLIDE 14

31 GAS OR ELECTRICITY SHORTFALLS? Estimated average electricity supply shortfalls of up to 363 GWh may be experienced in , and ` Shortfalls in gas-powered generation expected: SA from (up to 37 PJ in 2021) NSW from (up to 15 PJ in 2019) VIC in 2021 (2 PJ) QLD (up to 54 PJ in 2035) CONFIDENTIAL AND NOT FOR CIRCULATION: THIS INFORMATION IS STRICTLY EMBARGOED UNTIL 09 MARCH 2017 SLIDE 31

32 POSSIBLE SOLUTIONS TO SHORT TERM SHORTFALLS Energy reliability and security could be improved through industry responses, if the market provides incentives for industry to increase gas supply or reduce demand. Some possible options being considered by industry include: Redirecting a small portion of LNG supply to the domestic market. Increasing production from existing fields. Exploring and developing new fields Building the Northern Gas Pipeline to access gas in Northern Territory Developing the proposed Narrabri Gas Project Investing in alternative electricity generation and storage technologies Some of these options would require changes in state and territory energy policies to lift moratoria on hydraulic fracturing, or onshore gas development.

66 overview revision proposal key themes capital base and forecast capital expenditure demand, cost allocation and pricing 66

67 revision proposal key themes 16/05/

68 revision proposal key themes Responsiveness to customer demand Significant new gas flows north to NSW and Queensland Investments for the future Future growth through Western Outer Ring Main easement purchase, and now the WORM project in the period Safety and integrity spending Possible changes to the policy environment New market structures under policy consideration Consistency with current arrangements Consistency in tariff structure and how costs are allocated to tariffs 68

69 capital base and forecast capital expenditure 16/05/2017

70 capital base and capital expenditure VTS regulatory capital base at 1 January 2018 is $1,005 billion Expenditure in current period higher than forecast Driven by expansion to accommodate increased demand for capacity for gas flows north to NSW and Queensland (VNIE project) Increase from incremental 30TJ/day demand for firm capacity at Culcairn to 149TJ/day Total VNIE project expenditure $299 million (approved was $46.4 million) Total forecast capital expenditure in proposal $168.4 million Anglesea pipeline - $17.4m Warragul - $7.6m Westbound expansion of SWP - $3.5m Western Outer Ring Main (WORM) easement acquisition - $26.7m Subsequent proposal to complete WORM within period (by end 2020) Total proposed WORM expenditure - $122.4m (includes easement costs) 70

71 demand, cost allocation and pricing 16/05/

72 historic and forecast demand trends PJ Tariff V Tariff D Culcairn GPG PJ Total - all Total Tariff-D & Tariff-V 72

73 cost allocation and pricing APA VTS has retained tariff and cost allocation structure from current period Transmission tariffs apply to injections and withdrawals separately In VTS gas ownership can change within the system through the operation of the wholesale gas market Shippers do not contract for point to point transportation Injection tariffs recover the cost of transportation of gas from injection points to a nominal hub Hub considered as the Melbourne metro area Withdrawal tariffs recover the cost of transportation of gas from the hub to its withdrawal location Includes transportation within or across the Melbourne metro area Each delivery (withdrawal) point is allocated to a withdrawal zone Demand is split between Tariff D (large industrial) and Tariff V (residential and small business) within each zone 73

74 VNI expansion cost allocation VNI expansion Capacity related system capital costs Locational Allocated to asset zone Allocated to Culcairn withdrawal tariff All within Tariff-D class (no small customer capex allocation) Increased VNIE expenditure and volumes takes additional proportional share of non locational costs (eg. non-system capital, corporate, etc) Victorian domestic customers do not bear the costs of VNI expansion and receive benefit from reduced allocation of common costs Culcairn allocated $5m of indirect costs that would otherwise be shared throughout the system 74

77 Overview APA reset proposal and process Submissions key themes AEMC review of DWGM

78 APA proposal On 3 January, APA submitted its Victorian Transmission System access arrangement proposal. Key features compared to the previous period: Forecast revenue requirement is $709.3m - up 43.8%. Proposed rate of return is 7.88% - above current rate Forecast capex is $168.4m - down almost 60% compared to actual capex expenditure. Forecast opex is $132 million - up 1.8%.

79 Step Reset timeline Date Access arrangement proposal submitted to AER 3 January 2017 Proposal published 10 January 2017 Public forum on access arrangement proposal 1 February 2017 Submissions on proposal closed 3 March 2017 AER to publish draft decision 29 June 2017 Revised proposals submitted 14 August 2017 Stakeholder submissions on draft decisions and revised proposals 12 September 2017 AER to issue final decision 30 November 2017 Revised access arrangements commence 1 January 2018

80 Market Developments LNG - tightening market for gas with price increases LNG - Northward flow of gas Release of GSOO and VGPR by AEMO and the issuing of 2 threats to system security (SWP and Warragul) Closure of the Hazelwood power plant and increased GPG in Victoria Reviews Vertigan, AEMC, ACCC, Finkel

81 Submissions Key Themes 14 submissions Key issues 1. SWP a. Refill of Iona Underground Gas Storage facility b. Western Outer Ring Main 2. Warragul Lateral Expansion 3. Culcairn withdrawal tariff - Vic Northern Interconnect expansion

82 APA investment - track record

83 SWP and Western Outer Ring Main The WORM provides a link between the east and west, creating a high pressure ring around Melbourne ($ million) APA AA submission proposes pre-purchase of the WORM easements Following the stakeholder comments, APA are now proposing to build the WORM in the AA period. APA last week provided a business case for the WORM. The AER will consult on the proposal.

84 Northern Interconnector The AER s 2012 decision accommodated $85m for northern expansion APA spent $339 Victorian user concerns that expansion may add to their tariffs in future AER is considering the expansion according to the requirements of the NGR

85 Warragul Lateral Expansion Involves looping of 4.8 km of the Warragul Lateral pipeline Project has become increasingly urgent (AEMO has issued threat to system security notice) AER has approved this capex in 2 previous AAs, but APA is yet to undertake the work.

86 AEMC Review of DWGM The AEMC s draft decision recommended radical reform of the DMGM These reforms would have been difficult to implement The AER encourages the AEMC to adopt more incremental change A number of beneficial modifications that can be made to the current DWGM in the short term, including: Options to create forward trading, improvements to uplift allocation Incentive based regulatory framework is informed by extensive consultation and seems to be delivering efficient investment outcomes Should AEMO have a greater say in investment decision?

87 ACCC review into gas market ACCC inquiry into gas pricing and supply Strongly support moves to increase transparency in the gas market Australian Domestic Gas Supply Mechanism Shortfall of domestic supply: importance of understanding domestic exploration and production Fairly reflect international export prices: importance of deriving export parity pricing ACCC release reports First due October 2017

135 Proposed VTS Augmentation - access arrangement projects Source: AEMO Victorian Gas Planning Report

136 Proposed VTS Augmentation - Brooklyn and Winchelsea APA has proposed in AA5 a $3.5 m expansion including Brooklyn Compressor Reconfiguration & Winchelsea Compressor bidirectionality APA capacity expansion Achieves additional capacity of 50 TJ/d of SWP western haul (refill) capacity by Mar 2018 Solution matches current Iona refill capacity but refill may be interrupted if GPG operates more frequently APA ready for early construction start pending a positive draft decision from AER 136

137 Interim solution Relife of Mothballed Brooklyn Compressor Background Brooklyn Compressor Station (BCS) units 11 and 12 currently supply capacity to the South West Pipeline (Iona refill) BCS Unit10 has not run for 9 years, is only an emergency back up to units 11 or 12 Proposal Carry out major service and minor repairs, approximate cost $150K Provides interim solution to ensure that there is sufficient capacity for Iona refill if there are unexpectedly high draws on Iona capacity (eg to support South Australia) Standby required for period June 2017 to March 2018 (until VTS Augmentation at Brooklyn (prior slide) in operation) Issues to resolve Licensing issues to be addressed including EPA (NOx, noise) and of ESV (wet seals and liquid injection) APA working with authorities to resolve 137

138 Long term solution - Western Outer Ring Main (WORM) Capital Expenditure $122.4m; completed end 2020 Proposed in last AA as necessary for security of supply AER did not approve the proposal Adds 70TJ towards Iona (max capacity 220TJ/D) Half the fuel gas will be required, compared to the current quantity used for transportation via Brooklyn CS Addresses ageing infrastructure at Brooklyn with urban encroachment an additional challenge to its operations With the additional compression 470TJ to Melbourne demand zone Supports localised GPG Newport (EA) Somerton (AGL) and Laverton (Snowy) Source: AEMO Victorian Gas Planning Report 2017 Long term solution for Security of Supply for Victoria. 138

148 Pipeline pressure WHAT IS LINEPACK? Supply reduction Supply point Winter Increase = Higher flow rate Demand = increase = Higher pressure Gas drop Flow = Less PipeLINE Usable Transport PACKed Linepack Demand > Supply = Consume linepack Demand increase Demand point Max Pressure Active Usable Linepack Max injection pressure determines max active linepack Active (not usable) Min Pressure Passive required to maintain continuous supply Distance along pipeline SLIDE 148

149 DTS LINEPACK VS OTHER PIPELINES NSW/ ACT demand supplied by two major pipelines. Victorian Winter: Minimal time to respond to a major supply failure If major supply failure, usable linepack could support NSW/ACT demand for up to three days VIC demand supplied by one small interconnected network. If major supply failure, usable linepack could support VIC demand for two to four hours. SLIDE 149
