Information on Market Maps

Released in June 2011 after a four-year break, our much awaited update to the popular Power Trading Schematic is even more powerful than the previous issues.

Following from previous issues, this map delivers updates to these popular features:

	The map provided a clear illustration of the structure of the commercial side of Australia's two competitive electricity markets: The National Electricity Market (NEM) of eastern Australia; and Western Australia's Wholesale Electricity Market (WEM).
	The map provided a detailed listing of generators licensed to supply into these markets, and how they were registered by the relevant market operator (AEMO or the IMO).
	Contact details were included for generators, retailers and traders associated with the trading of energy in these wholesale markets.

Released around July 2002, our Power Trading Schematic provided a graphical illustration of the many commercial relationships that now exist across the Market.

In the Wholesale Market:

1. An illustration was made of how all electricity production is traded through the wholesale spot market.
2. Generation capacity was grouped according to Trader.
3. All registered Market Customers were illustrated on the maps. These participants were identified according to whether they were:
   • Retail suppliers of electricty; or
   • Wholesale market traders (whose primary focus was trading in financial instruments outside the spot); or
   • End-use customers that opted for direct purchase from the spot, rather than through a retail contract.
   • Relevant contact details were provided for all companies identified.

In the Retail Market:

• Recognition was made of those retailers who were licensed to supply (separately) in each state and territory
• A summary table was included to indicate how retail contestability had been phased in within each of these jurisdictions.
