Our strategies and initiatives
Our Program Related Initiatives
Strategy DM Initiatives – – what we will
what we will do support
Ensure efficient investment decision making Broad based Investment Planning
Process
We will continue to engage with customers and DM providers to seek DM Targeted
solutions to provide cost-effective alternatives to network options.
This approach will enable us to leverage investment across the electricity
supply chain and deliver efficient, well planned network expenditure and
apply downward pressure to network prices in the longer term.
Incentivise customer efficiency Broad based Investment Planning
Process
We will continue to provide incentives to customers and DM providers to Targeted
provide DM solutions as part of our approach for delivering efficient non
network options to defer, avoid or complement network investment.
In the medium term, ’smart’ DER (e.g. demand responsive batteries or BEVs)
are expected to provide an increasing proportion of DM solutions, either
directly or via DR aggregators.
Active customer response enablers DM Development Intelligent Grid
Enablement
We will maintain direct control of customer loads using our existing Audio
Frequency Load Control (AFLC) capability. We will complement this
capability, where cost efficient, by procuring and dispatching DR.
The procurement and dispatch of DR will require investment in intelligent
grid technologies and digital platforms. This will be implemented as part
of Energex and Ergon Energy’s broader ‘Intelligent Grid Enablement’
investment plans.
This enhanced capability will reduce network augmentation requirements
and increase DER hosting capacity.
Manage two-way energy flows DM Development Intelligent Grid
Enablement
We will trial and test DM solutions to increase DER hosting capacity while
maintaining reliability and power quality performance at statutory levels.
This is in line with our customer expectations and the Queensland
Government target of achieving 50% renewable energy by 2030.
Transforming supply at the fringe of grid DM Development Fringe of Grid
Transformation
We will continue to look for opportunities for DM to reduce the cost of
electricity supply in remote areas.
DM can be used to reduce the size and cost of customer DER and stand-
alone power systems (SAPS) and form part of an integrated, cost-effective
alternative to traditional network solutions.
Support our Program by investment in innovation DMIAM DMIAM
We will continue to undertake innovative trials and projects to test and
validate DM solutions. These trials will be supported by funding available
under DMIAM and will be targeted to accelerate future DM capabilities.
