Price Pathways to 2020: Gas and Electricity
The Strategy team at Core Energy is pleased to announce the upcoming release of a multi-client study;
Price Pathways to 2020: Gas & Electricity - From Resource to End-Market
The focus of this study is to provide clients with access to rigorous, fact-based analysis of the likely pathways for eastern Australia gas and electricity prices in a carbon constrained world, as a basis for quality debate and decision making.
Gas
The study will analyse the cost outlook for each element of the gas value chain...
- field supply cost – by field area
- transmission – by pipeline
- distribution – by network
- carbon costs
- gas losses
- retail operating cost and margin
... to derive likely pathways for wholesale and retail gas prices in each state in eastern Australia.
Electricity
The study will analyse the cost outlook for each element of the electricity value chain...
- wholesale cost – fuel, capital, operating, losses
- carbon costs
- transmission
- distribution – by network
- losses
- retail operating cost and margin
... to derive likely pathways for wholesale and retail electricity prices in each state in eastern Australia.
A comprehensive contents is available here.
Pricing and Registration
The study is priced at AUD 3,950 + GST.

2011 Energy Outlook - Study
Independent analysis of the outlook for the integrated eastern Australia electricity, gas, LNG, and infrastructure markets to 2025.
Core Energy Group is pleased to announce the March release of the 2011 Energy Outlook, an integrated study into the outlook for the eastern Australian electricity, gas, LNG and energy infrastructure markets to 2025.
At Core Energy we believe that thorough strategic analysis is required to contextualise and define growth initiatives and day to day business challenges in this dynamic market. Our strategic studies have been designed to provide a strong independent view based on rigorous, fact based analysis for use by clients as standalone reference or to use in conjunction with other analysis. Further our active involvement in the energy markets ensures our advice and analysis is practical and relevant to all industry stakeholders including energy producers and customers, Government, debt providers, investors, regulators and professional service providers.
Key Features of 2011 Energy Outlook include:
- Overview of the state of play within each sector.
- Demand – gas, electricity, Asian LNG to 2025 – analysis of peak and base demand and potential new markets e.g. GTL.
- Supply – scenarios of gas electricity, LNG supply to 2025, including conventional and unconventional gas and peak, intermediate and base load electricity.
- Contracts – analysis of contracted positions to 2025.
- Cost – analysis of costs as a basis for analysing investment returns, competitive position and prices.
- Competition – overview of competitive dynamics between major players.
- Price Outlook – scenarios of price outlook for domestic gas, electricity, LNG.
- Infrastructure – analysis of the infrastructure required to support the growth in final energy consumption – focused on peak demand which defines capacity.
- Sensitivity and scenario analysis including new industrial projects e.g. Olympic Dam, new electricity technology e.g. geothermal.
