Question Without Notice No. 341 asked in the Legislative Council on 9 April 2019 by Hon Simon O’Brien

ELECTRICITY RETAILERS — DISCONNECTIONS

341. Hon SIMON O'BRIEN to the minister representing the Minister for Energy:

Provide the following for each energy retailer in Western Australia.

(a) For each month from July 2018 to March 2019, how many disconnection warnings were issued for —

(i) residential customers; and

(ii) non-residential customers?

(b) For each month from July 2018 to March 2019, how many disconnections occurred for —

(i) residential customers; and

(ii) non-residential customers?

Hon STEPHEN DAWSON replied:

I thank the honourable member for some notice of the question. The question had been asked of the Leader of the House, but I represent the Minister for Energy, so I have an answer to that question.

The answer is in tabular form. It has months, disconnection warnings and disconnections, so I seek leave to have it incorporated into Hansard.

Leave granted.
