One decision.
Every consequence.

Decisions you can test

Select a question to see its scope, then open it in the scenario editor.

01
Offer design

What if power is free on Saturdays, 11am–2pm?

02
Customer strategy

Which customers fit our hedge book over the next six months?

03
Portfolio flexibility

Where can we buy spot and conserve our resources?

Explore customer, service and regulatory questions
01Customer uptake → energy positionWhat happens to our half-hourly position if 25% of eligible customers take Solar Sharer by March?

Explore the 48 half-hour positions and the relationship between customer adoption, physical load and hedge cover.

Explore this question
02Weather → wholesale exposureWhat is our unhedged exposure on a cloudy day with high uptake?

Stress the stated weather and uptake assumptions. Missing scenario inputs remain visible.

Explore this question
03Policy change → service demandHow many extra calls, in which weeks, and when is the first-bill spike?

Inspect modelled weekly calls and the first-bill response, using explicit event elasticities.

Explore this question
04Service demand → people and costHow many FTE, in which activities, and what does it do to cost to serve per customer?

Connect activities to required FTE and cost to serve. Capacity change is distinguished from cash savings.

Explore this question
05Tariff change → customer outcomesWhich customer groups are worse off, and how many are in hardship?

Compare bill impacts and hardship exposure at cohort level. Group averages do not classify every individual customer.

Explore this question
06Bill pressure → credit riskWhat does it do to arrears and bad debt with the $500 disconnection threshold?

Explore modelled arrears and bad debt under the reviewed protections. A debt threshold alone is not permission to disconnect.

Explore this question
07Business economics → regional subsidyHow much does the regional subsidy (CSO) move?

Inspect the illustrative cost-minus-revenue gap. The CSO formula remains subject to confirmation and restricted from board export.

Explore this question
08Future tariff policy → business impactWhat if the free window widens to 11am–3pm next year?

Rehearse a wider free window as a modelled tariff change, with the knock-on effects in the same scenario.

Explore this question
09Market structure → future exposureWhat if Queensland ends up with a different wholesale design from the Nelson review?

Supply an explicit wholesale price curve to quantify an alternative market design. Lighthouse asks for the curve when it is absent.

Explore this question
10A proposed change → obligationsWhat would we have to report to the AER and QCA, and when?

Inspect the reviewed candidate rules and regulator sources. The current pack is a starting point, not an exhaustive reporting calendar.
