EC3(7) Commercial Performance
Percentage
| Performance Measure | 2003/2004 | 2004/2005 |
| Commercial Performance (targets) | 99.00 | 99.50 |
| Commercial Performance (actuals) | 99.68 | |
| Definition | Commercial Performance is the revenue from energy produced, relative to the revenue from energy that could have been produced, had all generation needed to meet domestic load and trade opportunities been available. | |
| Variance Explanation | The 2004/2005 target has been modified from 99.00 per cent to 99.50 per cent to reflect historical performance (including analysis of planned outages). Particular attention was applied to manage down the number of forced outages and to minimize the duration of both forced and planned outages, thereby reducing the lost opportunity cost of all outages. | |
| Benchmark Comparison | While the Commercial Performance measure itself does not have an industry benchmark, all major hydroelectricity plants placed in the 1st and 2nd quartiles, in terms of forced outages and availability, in the last Haddon Jackson benchmarking study. | |
