ASX ANNOUNCEMENT
Commissioning CQ Partners for electricity market studies
Leigh Creek Energy (ASX: LCK ) is pleased to provide an update on recent progress regarding electricity marketing and related market studies for the Leigh Creek Energy Project ( LCEP ).
LCK has commissioned CQ Partners Pty Ltd ( CQ Partners ) to provide strategic advice regarding market studies on peaking power in the national electricity market ( NEM ). The analysis of peaking power production opportunities is additional to our ongoing efforts to provide base load power to key customers with a focus on the North-Western Region of South Australia.
Analysis of South Australia’s electricity market has identified the potential to consider peaking power opportunities so that the LCEP can produce power at times when the States intermittent electricity is not operating at capacity.
The initial engagement is focussed on;
-
Analysis of historic South Australian electricity market data (supply, demand and pricing) and the role of existing peak power producers and interconnection with Victoria;
-
Forecasts of future market fundamentals and opportunities for gas fired base load and peaking generation; and
-
Strategic advice around electricity pricing and risk mitigation.

Commenting on the commissioning of electricity market studies David Shearwood, Managing Director of LCK said:
“We are very happy to be working with CQ Partners who are a leading provider of energy market services.
At present the changes in electricity and gas markets across Eastern Australia afford LCK many opportunities to bring reliable energy to South Australia. This is particularly important in higher power demand periods (generally summer months) when South Australia relies on power being available via interconnects with Victoria.
Our work with CQ Partners will help longer term investment decisions by ensuring analysis of base load and peaking power opportunities is underpinned by substantiated historical analysis and reliable forecasts.”
