About this Hub

Run a generation business that earns through every market cycle.

Large and small-scale electricity generators across thermal, renewable, and storage technologies. Australian generation is a mature, fast-changing industry with strong capital requirements and complex market interactions. This Hub is for Members operating generation assets and the specialists who help them.

Start with a Pillar

Three starting Pillars. Pick the one closest to your situation.

Each Pillar is a structured pass through one part of running this kind of business. Five questions, five dimensions, a clear read on where you stand. Take the Pillar; your Facilitator routes the result to the right specialist.

Pillar 01 · Free · 5 minutes

Generation Asset Health

Five questions across five dimensions. A read on whether your generation asset is performing — and whether it's positioned for the next phase of the market.

Asset performance
How does your asset's actual output and availability compare to its design and to industry benchmarks for its technology?
Maintenance position
Is preventative maintenance keeping pace with degradation, or is the asset accumulating deferred work?
Connection and constraints
How exposed is your revenue to network constraints, curtailment, or marginal loss factor changes?
Compliance state
Are AEMO registration, generator performance standards, and licensing all current and confidently defensible?
Lifecycle position
Where does the asset sit in its design life, and is the financial planning aligned with that reality?
Pillar 02 · Free · 5 minutes

Market Revenue & Hedging

Five questions across five dimensions. The honest read on where revenue actually comes from, and whether the hedge book matches the asset.

Revenue mix
What proportion of revenue comes from spot, contract, FCAS, capacity, and other streams — and is the mix appropriate?
Hedging position
How much of expected output is hedged, and does the hedge book match the asset's operational reality?
PPA position
If you have offtake agreements, are they pricing well against current and forecast market conditions?
Trading capability
Does the business have the trading capability to capture market opportunity, or is it leaving value on the table?
Counterparty risk
How exposed are you to a single counterparty, and what would default look like operationally?
Pillar 03 · Free · 5 minutes

Capital & Lifecycle Strategy

Five questions across five dimensions. The capital structure, the next refinancing event, the repower-or-decommission question every generator now faces.

Capital structure
Is the asset's debt and equity structure optimised for current market conditions and revenue patterns?
Refinancing horizon
When is the next refinancing event, and is the asset positioned to refinance well?
Repowering or extension
Is there a credible plan for life extension, repowering, or repurposing as the asset matures?
Decommissioning provisioning
Are decommissioning obligations adequately provisioned, and is the plan realistic?
Strategic optionality
What strategic options does the asset retain — sale, partnership, augmentation, conversion — and which are being kept open?
The Twelve Spokes

Twelve specialty zones inside this Hub.

Each Spoke routes Members to a specialist Service Provider once a Pillar surfaces what they need. Spokes are the destinations the Pillars route into — full Spoke pages come online once Pillars are operating at the full standard.
