Podcasts about electricity prices

I got an email from the power company this week, telling me about my weekly electricity use and how much of that is used during my eight hours of free power on Saturdays and Sundays. Despite doing all the washing and drying during the 16 free hours of power each week, it was only 20%. No wonder the bills are so expensive. And that's without teenagers chewing through the power like it used to be not that long ago. So we probably shouldn't be surprised by a new survey which says over 60% of people would be in favour of the Government underwriting the cost of new electricity generation, if it meant cheaper power bills. This is a survey that was done by Curia for Octopus Energy and the Auckland Business Chamber. The results have been released as we are, apparently, just days away from some sort of significant government announcement about the energy sector. But here's the question: Is it the Government's job to make energy prices cheaper? I think we lost any right to expect the Government to deliver cheaper power prices when the market was reformed by Max Bradford all those years ago. When we got the set-up we've got now, which we were promised would mean cheaper power prices. Because unless the Government buys back all the shares in all the power companies, then I don't think it is the Government's job to make energy prices cheaper. What's more, the idea of the Government underwriting new generation projects is a bit of a slippery slope. Because why should these companies get the Government being a backstop for them if things go pear-shaped? What about other sectors that have to go it alone without the taxpayer to fall back on? Energy Minister Simon Watts isn't saying much, but he's describing it as something that will be “significant but surgical”. My view is that the only way the Government could deliver cheaper electricity prices is by buying back all the shares in the big power companies. Resurrecting the old NZ Electricity Department (NZED). But that's never going to happen. Shane Jones has talked about it, but I think it's very unlikely. And that's why I think we need to forget about this idea of the Government coming to our rescue. We don't expect the Government to make air fares cheaper. We've abandoned the idea of the Government making groceries cheaper. So why should we expect it to make power prices cheaper? See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

South Africans will have to brace themselves for electricity price increases in 2026 and 2027. The National Energy Regulator of SA has entered into a settlement with Eskom, giving it an additional R54bn over three years on top of the R1.2-trillion is has already approved. Earlier this year Eskom lodged a judicial review of Nersa's decision to grant Eskom a price increase on the basis it wasn't enough.

One of the country's major electricity companies is defending their increased profits amid rising energy prices. Contact Energy's full year net profit is up 41%, with revenue up 20%. Their underlying profit also climbed 17%, bolstered by a strong lift in geothermal generation as well as improved sales and customer numbers. CEO Mike Fuge told Mike Hosking the profits are the result of their investment in major projects that benefit the country, such as geothermal. He says they're actually investing more than what they earned in profit last year. LISTEN ABOVE See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

In the next few years, the United States is going to see the fastest growth in electricity demand since the 1970s. And that's only the beginning of the challenges that our power grid will face. When you step back, virtually every trend facing the power system — such as the coming surge in liquified natural gas exports or President Trump's repeal of wind and solar tax credits — threatens to constrain the supply of new electricity. On this week's episode of Shift Key, Rob and Jesse talk about why they're increasingly worried about a surge in electricity prices. What's setting us up for an electricity shortfall? What does the recent auction in the country's largest electricity market tell us about what's coming? And what would a power shock mean for utility customers, the economy, and decarbonization?

PJM Interconnection announced the results of their capacity auction last week. This is where suppliers of electricity quote prices to provide surge capacity for periods of high demand (typically hot summer days). It used to be uneventful until last year, when the clearing price was 9X higher than before. This led to the price hikes […]

New modelling from the Institute for Energy Economics and Financial Analysis shows we've been looking for solutions to rising electricity prices in the wrong places. The real key to slashing household energy bills isn't more power plants or political debate over gas vs renewables. And it's not one-off bill rebates either. It's targeted energy upgrades in our homes. Efficient electric appliances, rooftop solar, home batteries, and thermal upgrades could slash bills by 80 to 90%, with the biggest savings in cities like Sydney. These upgrades not only reduce household energy use and bills but also cut demand on the broader grid, benefiting everyone by lowering peak demand and gas reliance. But what will it take to make these savings a reality? Jay Gordon is an Energy Finance Analyst at IEEFA and author of the new report.

Electricity companies could face further rules if the latest measures to drive down prices don't work. The Electricity Authority's moving to require power companies to charge less for power during off-peak periods and pay more for solar and battery power during peak periods. But it hasn't stated how much lower off-peak prices actually need to be. Commerce Commission Chair John Small —a member of the authority's Energy Competition Task Force— told Heather du Plessis-Allan they're hoping competition will drive down off-peak prices. He says they want to see how things go, but the regulator will need to consider further action if things don't go as planned. LISTEN ABOVE See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

There's no end in sight for the Vassiliko project: past mistakes have left many tricky issues to resolve and we can expect to continue paying exorbitant electricity prices for several years; there's anger at a proposed new bill before Parliament that will muzzle citizens' opposition and their right to demonstrate.

Maria returns to the dining room table with a fiery critique of Australia's energy pricing disaster. From skyrocketing AGL bills to smart meter control and the illusion of cheap renewables, Maria doesn't hold back. Joined by Jeremy Cordeaux and his panel, they dissect the broken promises of green energy, government overreach, and the slow financial bleed of everyday Australians—all while the media stays silent. Topics you'll hear; AGL and South Australian electricity price increases The myth of renewables being “cheap” and “efficient” South Australia's role as a supposed renewable superpower Smart meter installations and legal rights to refuse Utilities’ control over home solar/batteries (behind-the-meter access) Peak energy pricing manipulation (3 p.m. to 1 a.m.) The true cost of going green in Illawarra ($50,000 per home) Government subsidies, loans, and taxpayer burdens Calls for transparency from energy ministers and regulators Populist politics vs. real leadership Growing frustration with Labour's lack of mandate Media silence and lack of scrutiny over energy decisions See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Energy Minister Chris Bowen is seeking to review the default market offer system, which controls standing offer prices in some eastern states in a bid to get better energy prices for consumers. Peter Fegan has suggested the Minister is trying to shift the blame for high energy prices to 'price gouging' rather than the high cost of switching to renewable energy sources.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

This is our last podcast of 2024! We will be back in the new year with a look back at 2024 and the energy themes we will be watching in 2025.For the last podcast of the year, we welcome Elliot Mainzer, President & Chief Executive Officer, California Independent System Operator (CAISO).California has integrated a large share of renewables into its electricity supply. As of 2023, almost 50% of California's power generation came from renewables. Renewable power generation includes solar (19%), hydro (15%), wind (6%), geothermal (5%), and biomass (2%). Jackie and Peter asked Elliot: What is your expectation for future renewables growth? What is the future of natural gas generation?  Is transmission able to keep up with the addition of new power supply? Do you expect changes under the Trump administration could speed up the permitting for new transmission projects?  Are you concerned about the pace of demand growth and what is driving the acceleration?   Is it fair to say that high renewables penetration has caused California to have expensive power prices?  Alberta is making market changes to address the growth of renewables; how did California address these issues with market design in a way that continued to create a compelling investment opportunity for renewables?  How much electricity does California currently receive from Alberta and British Columbia?Content referenced in this podcast:Statement from CanREA on concerns about punitive market and transmission changes in Alberta, including a link to a Direction Letter from Minister Nathan Neudorf (December 10, 2024)Opinion: Alberta needs solar and wind to meet demand by Vittoria Bellissimo and Evan Wilson, December 12, 20242023 Total System Electric Generation for California (California Energy Commission) Please review our disclaimer at:https://www.arcenergyinstitute.com/disclaimer/ Check us out on social media: X (Twitter): @arcenergyinstLinkedIn: @ARC Energy Research Institute Subscribe to ARC Energy Ideas PodcastApple PodcastsAmazon MusicSpotify

Hopes a glut of tomatoes in South Australia will ease as trade resumes to other Australian states, more Australian wine sold than produced last year, as the industry draws down on stored wine, and fertilizer manufacturer Orica looks to manufacture offshore due to escalating Australian gas and electricity prices.

It's ironic that we mention the Commerce Commission yesterday and here we are today, indulging in a bit more of its madness. Lines charges, the cost of getting power to your house, is going to get more expensive. Your bill will rise for the next handful of years by up to $85. That's over $1,000 a year. Is your power better? No. Do you get more power? No. You just pay more. Why? Because the Commerce Commission decided they are going to let Transpower and local lines companies charge more so they can invest in new infrastructure. They will be allowed to raise just shy of $6 billion. There are a few ironies with this: 1) We also, says the Commission, understand the importance of incentivising business to invest and improve and meet consumer demands. What?! You don't think they would charge this and more if they could? And what incentive? Transpower are a monopoly. They have no incentive to improve anything. 2) The $6 billion is way more than it should be. What should it be? Under $3 billion. Why? Because 55% of what Transpower is doing is because of higher inflation and interest rates. And what is 55% of $6 billion, roughly? Now, how did we get those? That's right - Adrian Orr. If you want yet another tangible example, as the Labour Government and Adrian Orr years of incompetence roll on, then here you are. $3 billion worth, that is for nothing other than admin and fees. Stuff that should not have happened if the approach in Covid hadn't been as grandiose and wasteful and plain idiotic. More inflation than we ever needed, leading of course to interest rates we shouldn't have had to try and bring back to Earth, entirely as a result of the Covid approach that crippled the country. Yes, there are plenty of intangibles like morals, behaviours, mental health and school attendance. But we are also paying Transpower $6 billion to do what they should have done anyway.

In this week's episode, host Kristin Hayes talks with Jesse Buchsbaum, a new research fellow at Resources for the Future, about how consumers respond to changes in electricity prices. Buchsbaum discusses the responsiveness of electricity consumers to prices in the short and long term, the role of pricing in driving long-term changes in consumption habits and investments in electric appliances, the importance of pricing for effective policymaking, and differences in the sensitivity of consumers to price changes depending on income.

Shane Jones says "structural change" to the energy sector is definitely on the agenda following the closure of two central North Island mills.  Winstone Pulp has confirmed it's closing its two mills near Ohakune, with 230 people set to lose their jobs.  Jones says the Government can't control factors like global commodity prices, foreign exchange rates, and global shipping logistics.  But the Regional Development and Associate Energy Minister told Mike Hosking the power of large "gentailers" needs to be broken up to make energy prices more competitive.  He says the aluminium sector is looking towards importing, there's uncertainty for corn growers, and the country's biggest gas user Methanex has been facing issues.  LISTEN ABOVE See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Recorded on August 16, 2024 https://youtu.be/1z8gu8-Iz0g In episode 114 of the PetroNerds podcast, Trisha Curtis, CEO of PetroNerds, is joined by Chris Brown, VP of Policy and Research at the Common Sense Institute, to discuss the recent report Trisha co-authored on Colorado's declining energy competitiveness. Energy is not just a sector of the economy; it is the sector upon which all businesses rely. Colorado, along with the rest of the US, has witnessed a dramatic escalation in electricity and natural gas prices, despite natural gas prices being near all-time lows, below $/mcf, for multiple months this year. In this podcast, Trisha and Chris discuss the main themes of this report, including the rising electricity and natural gas prices in Colorado, which are making the state less competitive from an energy cost standpoint. They also discuss where electricity is coming from in Colorado and the direct correlation between rising electricity costs and the increase of wind power into the grid. Finally, they talk about Colorado's CO2 emissions, which account for less than 0.3 percent of global emissions, and how Colorado shutting down coal-fired power plants is actually enabling higher CO2 emission growth out of China, increasing the cost of electricity and power generation in Colorado, decreasing grid reliability, and reducing the affordability of energy in the state. The data is damning and alarming, and folks in Colorado need to be reaching out to the PUC, Xcel, and their local representatives, demanding a halt to more wind and solar power being added to the grid at the expense of the Colorado consumer, taxpayer, and household.

The Prime Minister says all options are on the table for tackling the energy crisis.  Wholesale electricity prices have surged in recent weeks as hydro lake storage nears record lows.  Christopher Luxon says he's pulled the industry together for discussions about rationing and transferring gas where it needs to go.  He told Mike Hosking they're looking at a series of short term measures to ensure supply can meet demand.  Luxon says the bigger question is what medium to long-term measures need to be taken to ensure energy security.  On another note, the Prime Minister says congestion charging could boost productivity and clear up the roads.  Transport Minister Simeon Brown has confirmed the Government's introducing legislation this year to allow for so-called "time of use charging".  It'll allow councils to propose charges for using certain roads at certain peak hours.  Luxon told Hosking congestion results in slower deliveries and other economic issues.  He says if it's done right, congestion charges can result in an 8-12% reduction in congestion.  LISTEN ABOVE See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The Government could be importing liquefied natural gas to relieve businesses struggling with high power prices.  An Auckland paper recycling pulp mill with 75 staff is proposing to close.  Ohakune's Winstone pulp and timber mills are also at the brink of closure, putting 300 jobs on the line.  Both blame sky rocketing increases in power prices over the years.  Finance Minister Nicola Willis told Mike Hosking she understands the Government may have to go to drastic measures like importing gas to give relief for businesses.  She says she's hearing there's a lot of pain and pressure being felt by businesses because of these high prices.  Willis is also tempering expectations for public servant pay increases.  The Government's written to public sector agencies ahead of collective negotiations saying they must keep spending reined in, and any increases should be based on performance.  It follows thousands of jobs being cut in the sector to meet Government budget cuts.  Willis told Hosking agencies need to be realistic about the challenges in the economy.  She says in the past public sector pay increases have risen ahead of those in the private sector, and that's not right.  LISTEN ABOVE See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
