• WA Electricity system architecture transformation
• Stop adding to the peak problem - 4 to 6 pm on hot days
• Risk diversification in new generation to reduce spinning reserve:– Unit Sizes and Geographic
diversification
MACROECONOMIC SAVINGS – BENEFITS EVERYONE

during peak measurement periods• LGC pricing from solar farm lower than prices charged by Retailers (typically
market price based)• Embedded generation is exempt when determining REC charges• Market fees and charges avoided• Line losses avoided• Typically expect in the region of $75-100k per annum savings per MWac
installed• Lease income from land for 20 years
MICROECONOMIC SAVINGS – IMAGE RESOURCES
17
Macro – All Western Australians• WA adoption of renewable energy• Investing in infrastructure in regional WA• 50% of capital expenditure spent with WA
