FOR PUBLIC RELEASE
1 INTRODUCTION
With the ever increasing demand for electrical energy Country Energy is investigating the most
efficient methods to supply that demand.
Country Energy is committed to providing energy efficiently to customers through a network that has
considered all options that could possibly delay or avoid network expansion. The most cost effective
solution that provides the required level of reliability will be implemented.
One of the aims of this document is to disclose information that will allow key stakeholders to
express an interest in the possible provision of alternative proposals to network expansion that
alleviate the areas of constraint.
Another aim of the document is to receive details from key stakeholders interested in offering
possible options to certain system constraints. Their details shall be added to a “Register of
Interested Parties”.
2 WHO IS COUNTRY ENERGY?

Country Energy is Australia’s largest regionally based energy company.
Formed on 1 July 2001, Country Energy was the result of the merger between the former
NorthPower, Great Southern Energy and Advance Energy. On 1 July 2005 the former Australian
Inland Energy merged with Country Energy to form one of Australia’s largest network corporations
that services 95% of New South Wales. The network also extends into authorised supply areas of
Queensland and Victoria.

FOR PUBLIC RELEASE
Country Energy now has more than 800,000 customers and employs over 4,000 people throughout
rural and regional NSW.
In addition to being an electricity distributor, Country Energy supplies many other products and
services for both residential and business customers, including green energy solutions and energy
management tools to name a few.
3 CODE OF PRACTICE - DEMAND MANAGEMENT (SEPT 2004)

The NSW Code of Practice Demand Management for Electricity Distributors (Sept 2004) was
produced to assist electricity distributors implement strategies that are cost effective in avoiding or
postponing network system expansion. The original Code was released in May 2001 with the latest
version released in Sept 2004. Working directly with major customers or companies looking for
investment opportunities is just one of the methods used to contain demand growth and offer
alternative solutions for the network.
To comply with the first stage of the process nominated in the Code of Practice, Country Energy is to
publish annually an Electricity System Development Review containing historical and forecast data
as well as a brief description of the forecast constraints. Such a review forms part of this document.
4 REGISTER OF INTERESTED PARTIES

For each supply constraint forecast to occur within 5 years, a ‘Register of Interested Parties’ will be
established to record details of customers, service providers and others who wish to be informed of
Country Energy‘s network plans on an ongoing basis. From time to time Country Energy will issue
‘Requests for Proposals’ which will invite stakeholders and interested parties to submit proposals for
a specific network constraint.
Any party requesting to be added to the Register will be kept informed of developments relating to
the constraints of interest. Names and information on the Register will be public information unless
specifically requested otherwise by the interested party.
To be placed on the Register of Interested Parties, please forward your details to:

5 PLANNING GUIDELINES
5.1 LOAD FORECASTING
In this report where historical data was not available, assumptions were made for loads and power
factor. Where constraints, transformers, reliability and system support options are listed, a more in
depth analysis of the historic and current information should be carried out to fully determine the
actual condition/s that have given rise to the listing.
Generally, load forecasting was based upon the following information as appropriate:
 Actual normalised System Demand data (minimum 7 years - preferred 10 years).

 Forecasting calculations are performed using linear regression/projection methodology.
 Summer forecasts based on the months - October, November, December, January,
February, and March.
 Winter forecasts based on the months - April, May, June, July, August, September.
5.2 RELIABILITY LEVELS
The targets that Country Energy aims to achieve for the security of supply criteria for the
subtransmission network is summarised in the table below.
Security of Supply Criteria
Peak
Security of Restoration Time
Loading
Supply Level (minutes)
(MVA)
N-2 0
N-1 <1 > 15
N (1) 60 10 - 15
N (1) 300 5 - 10
N > 300 <5
(1) – Where alternative HV switching is not available consideration is given to N-1 planning
6 ELECTRICITY SYSTEM INFORMATION DISCLOSURE

This section contains detailed technical information about historical loads and future forecasts for all
transmission substations and zone substations within the Country Energy subtransmission system
having a primary supply voltage of 33kV or above.
Likely system constraints that are forecast to occur within the next 5 years are disclosed in this
section. If more detail is required on a constraint of interest, please contact the Group Manager
Demand Management Strategy at the address given above.
Simple diagrams of the subtransmission system surrounding each major supply region are also
included.
Please note – Demand Management options form possible solutions to each and every network
constraint and as such are considered on an equal footing to network options.

Thermal:
1 Summer load on the Merbein to Dareton 66kV line is approaching line design limit.
Transformer:
1 Transformers at Dareton substation are operating independent to overcome distribution

feeder voltage constraints, and therefore cannot provide automatic N-1 contingency.
Reliability:
1 Radial 66 kV line Merbein to Dareton load exceeds 15MVA and has no alternate supply.

FOR PUBLIC RELEASE
1 Assess supply risk and mitigation costs for Dareton and Ginkgo loads.
2 Investigate increased supply capacity from Powercor.
3 Construct a zone substation at Buronga (Current Project).
4 Investigate options to increase supply capacity to Ginkgo to allow for further mining
development. Augment Powercor supply to provide increased capacity and N-1 reliability.
5 Construct a new 66kV line Gol Gol to Buronga (Current Project).
