being a modification and enhancement of our power import capabilities. We are focused to a move from direct carbon emissions through combustion – i.e. power generation on site through gas turbines to indirect carbon emissions through imported electricity. Even though this actually creates a significant drop here in our carbon footprint overall, under legislation of the CRC scheme that has been released, when you import electricity from the grid it actually imposes taxation on the amount
of carbon emission tonnage and emissions that it is equivalent to. “So Humbly Grove is currently investing on site, with major capital expenditure to be more efficient and reduce its carbon footprint, and as a consequence of that, through the legislation that is set down through DECC, DEFRA and the EA, we are being penalised with increased taxation through carbon emissions of indirect imports.” Following breakaway from Star Energy Ltd in 2011, Humbly Grove Energy has continued to build on the relationship with its principle customer. Arthur states: “The relationship with our shareholder is very strong, we have a very good understanding, we communicate on a regular basis and they are fully aware of the importance of Humbly Grove as one of their flagships for gas storage, and as a consequence, with our parent company we are consistently looking at ways of reducing cost, improving energy efficiencies, increasing profitability, availability and reliability, to increase the benefit both on an operational and energy level and also on a financial basis. Efficiency, effectiveness and customer satisfaction are our main drivers and vision.”
