(2) Synergy operates in the highly competitive contestable market within the SWIS which has resulted from the disaggregation of Western Power and the deregulation of the WA electricity industry. Synergy considers its corporate hospitality activities to be core business to ensure the organisation is able to compete for and maintain major contracts, and to maintain a sound financial position. A detailed view of Synergy's activities would be of commercial advantage to Synergy's competitors in their efforts to attract Synergy's customers to their organisations.
