EnergyAustralia is a large Australian
electricity and natural gas supplier and retailer. A subsidiary of
TRUenergy, it primarily supplies the Sydney, Newcastle and Central Coast areas of New South Wales and has, since market deregulation, increased its focus on retail supply opportunities in electricity and gas to the Victorian market and electricity in the deregulated South East corner of
Queensland.
EnergyAustralia has origins over 100 years old, and was formed after a merger in 1996 between Orion Energy (formerly Shortland
Electricity and Shortland County Council) and Sydney Electricity (formerly Sydney County Council, Mackellar County Council and St George County Council). It was a state government enterprise of the Government of New South Wales. In March 2011, EnergyAustralia's retail business and company name was sold to
TRUEnergy, with the distribution business to remain a state government enterprise renamed
Ausgrid.

A
SUSTAINABLE FUTURE Never
mind the politics, people need a place to live, food and energy.
Imagine a world where there is abundant energy for transport, the home
and our factories, and that energy does not harm our environment.
Imagine that the world economy is stable and that the
population is
under the threshold where the planet can meet our needs. Isn't that a
wonderful vision? That
ideal may not be totally within our grasp. But we can at least strive
for clean energy for living, which is technologically within sight.
RENEWABLE
ELECTRICITY Solar
power from
micro generation is now a growing industry as many Youtube videos are
demonstrating. As these conversions and new builds gain in popularity
electric vehicles will also gain favour, especially for households
generating excess energy, which they could get better value from by
using for transport. Electricity used in this way might reduce transport
costs
by up to 200%. So provide a higher quality of life with lesser
environmental damage. If
buying an EV, it would make
sense to have the latest future proof technology, such as battery
cartridge exchange built into the vehicle, for self servicing, or
exchanges at local stores or cooperatives. This technology exists but
has not yet been incorporated in production
vehicles. When
EVs become available with cartridge
refueling, it would make sense to have in place at least a few
service stations to cater for eventual demand. The technology would thus
be in place when it is needed. Such a move when it is implemented will
greatly reduce carbon
dioxide build up in the atmosphere and ease the transition from oil
based economies to abundant clean energy. THE
CHICKEN AND EGG SITUATION If
there were service forecourts to cater for battery cartridge exchange,
that might in turn persuade motor manufacturers to produce vehicles with
the system. This is a classic chicken
and egg situation. Who should do what first. Given
the scale of the problem, it might be prudent for every corporation
involved in the industry to at least investigate the potential that any
emerging technology might offer for the future on mankind,
which is after all the future of their company and eventual profits for
their shareholders.
