ENERGY — TARIFF AND CONCESSION FRAMEWORK REVIEW
I refer to the Office of Energy’s tariff and concession framework review. (1) Has the Office of Energy commissioned a survey of households as part of its review yet; and, if so, who was commissioned? (2) What is the estimated cost of this survey and what methodology will be employed? (3) How will households be selected to participate and how will they be contacted? (4) What estimated percentage of participants will be from metropolitan areas and regional areas? (5) Will the survey focus on any particular socioeconomic profile of energy consumer; and, if so, what? (6) When will households be contacted to participate and when will the results be delivered to government? (7) Will the minister table a copy of the final survey; and, if not, why not? Hon ROBYN McSWEENEY

AnswerView source ↗
I thank the honourable member for some notice of the question. I answer on behalf of the Minister for Energy. (1) The household energy characteristics survey has not yet been commissioned. The survey will be commissioned once the survey’s statistical methodology is finalised by the Australian Bureau of Statistics, which is the Office of Energy’s consultant for the survey. The survey will be commissioned through a publicly advertised tender process in line with State Supply Commission policies. (2) The cost of the survey will be determined through a tender process in compliance with State Supply Commission policies. (3) Households will be selected to participate in the survey based on their electricity consumption and location. Selected households will initially be contacted by letter approximately one week prior to the survey being conducted, which will occur either by face-to-face interview or by telephone. Participation in the survey will be entirely voluntary. (4) As the survey methodology has not yet been finalised, the exact distribution of survey participants across metropolitan and regional areas cannot be known at this stage. (5) The survey will be designed to ensure that households of all socioeconomic profiles are adequately represented in the survey sample. This is necessary to ensure that the results of the survey are statistically reliable and able to be used for modelling purposes. (6) The timing of the survey will depend on the respondent selected from the tender process. It is expected that final results and analysis will be made available to the government in late 2011. (7) The survey data and accompanying analysis will be made publicly available upon completion. The data set resulting from the survey is expected to be a very useful resource for researchers, the energy sector and other interested community stakeholders.

Hon ROBYN McSWEENEY replied: I thank the honourable member for some notice of the question. I answer on behalf of the Minister for Energy. (1) The household energy characteristics survey has not yet been commissioned. The survey will be commissioned once the survey’s statistical methodology is finalised by the Australian Bureau of Statistics, which is the Office of Energy’s consultant for the survey. The survey will be commissioned through a publicly advertised tender process in line with State Supply Commission policies. (2) The cost of the survey will be determined through a tender process in compliance with State Supply Commission policies. (3) Households will be selected to participate in the survey based on their electricity consumption and location. Selected households will initially be contacted by letter approximately one week prior to the survey being conducted, which will occur either by face-to-face interview or by telephone. Participation in the survey will be entirely voluntary. (4) As the survey methodology has not yet been finalised, the exact distribution of survey participants across metropolitan and regional areas cannot be known at this stage. (5) The survey will be designed to ensure that households of all socioeconomic profiles are adequately represented in the survey sample. This is necessary to ensure that the results of the survey are statistically reliable and able to be used for modelling purposes. (6) The timing of the survey will depend on the respondent selected from the tender process. It is expected that final results and analysis will be made available to the government in late 2011. (7) The survey data and accompanying analysis will be made publicly available upon completion. The data set resulting from the survey is expected to be a very useful resource for researchers, the energy sector and other interested community stakeholders.
(6) When will households be contacted to participate and when will the results be delivered to government? (7) Will the minister table a copy of the final survey; and, if not, why not?
