Enhancing the value of our Tasmanian assets
We will continually look at ways of enhancing the value of Hydro Tasmania’s hydro generation assets. In achieving this we will ensure the sustainability of our Tasmanian generation system. It will be configured to maintain and grow the use of our assets and our water resources (fuel) over the long-term (100 years), benefiting Tasmanians into the future.

Investing in renewable energy generation
Roaring 40s is continuing to show strong growth in only its second year of operation. Roaring 40s' developments and potential in both the Chinese and Indian renewable energy markets continue to grow together with Roaring 40s’ increasing brand recognition.
Renewable energy investment will also extend to investing in additional commercial renewable energy projects in Tasmania as part of enhancing the value of our Tasmanian investments.

Building Consulting
Hydro Tasmania Consulting continues to build its market by providing services and expertise in renewable energy, water management and environmental management.
The services offered in the market build knowledge which in turn provides the skills to enhance the long-term value of our Tasmanian assets and resources.

Community Service Obligation

Hydro Tasmania has a formal agreement with the Tasmanian Government to provide concessional arrangements to electricity customers on the Bass Strait islands. Aurora Energy delivers these arrangements to customers via a sub-contract arrangement with net costs of the activity funded by the State Government as a declared Community Service Obligation of around $7 million per annum.

We are examining ways to improve our provision of electricity on the Bass Strait islands. Some possibilities that are being explored are carbon block technology and additional renewable generation.

Business Structure

Our three lines of business model served us well to focus on getting into the NEM and establishing Roaring 40s. We have now realigned our business structure to be more responsive to our business needs into the future and to be better placed to respond to our competitive market and changing operating environment.
