Parliamentary Questions


Question Without Notice No. 340 asked in the Legislative Council on 23 June 2021 by Hon Dr Steve Thomas

Parliament: 41 Session: 1

SYNERGY — GENERATION OUTPUT

340. Hon Dr STEVE THOMAS to the minister representing the Minister for Energy:

I refer to question without notice 297 asked on 17 June and answered on 22 June.

(1) Does the table presented in the answer represent all state government power generation in Western Australia?

(2) If no to (1), what does it represent?

(3) Given the question asked for the output of ''each Synergy generation plant'', will the minister now provide the output for each individual plant as asked?

(4) Why has renewable energy production dropped from 98 gigawatt hours in 2017–18 to fewer than six gigawatt hours in each year following?

(5) Given that coal fuel energy production has dropped by 24 per cent over two years from 2017–18 to 2019–20, what is the expected drop in production by 2025 given the announced closure of two Muja power station units?

Hon ALANNAH MacTIERNAN replied:

I thank the member for the question. The Minister for Energy has provided the following information.

It is not possible to provide the information in the time required, and I therefore ask the honourable member to place this question on notice.
