Ever wondered how Australia’s complex energy industry actually works? Here we’ll explain how electricity reaches your home or business, and where CS Energy fits into the process.
 

Here’s how it works:

CS Energy sells electricity into the wholesale national electricity market (NEM) and off-grid.

Our NEM connected power stations are Swanbank, Callide and Kogan Creek. Mica Creek Power Station provides power on a remote grid, which just supplies north west Queensland.

The diagram below outlines how electricity travels from a power station to arrive at homes and businesses and how it is bought and sold.
