Parliamentary Questions


Question Without Notice No. 797 asked in the Legislative Council on 13 October 2021 by Hon Dr Steve Thomas

Parliament: 41 Session: 1

WESTERN POWER — CAPITAL EQUIPMENT

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

I refer to the 2021 annual report of Western Power, which on page 47 has plant and equipment listed at a capital value of $10.72 billion as at 30 June 2021.

(1) How much of the $10.72 billion is represented by —

(a) poles;

(b) cables;

(c) substations; and

(d) transformers?

(2) Given that page 72 of the report shows us that the estimated useful life of substations, transformers, poles and cables is 45 to 50 years, what proportion of each of those categories is over 50 years old?

Hon ALANNAH MacTIERNAN replied:

I do not have an answer to that here in my file. I will ask someone to follow that up and bring in the answer. I will answer it at the end of question time.
