    LEGISLATIVE COUNCIL C1379 QUESTION WITHOUT NOTICE (Of which some notice has been given) Tuesday, 25 November 2014 Hon Robin Chapple to the Leader ofthe House representing the Minister for Energy. Please provide a summary of all active power stations in Western Australia, including: age; capacity profile; fuel and/or mine type; number of employees; whether it is on or off the grid; and the closure schedule. I thankthe Hon. Member for some notice of this question. I table the attached document. The Public Utilities Office has relied on the Independent Market Operator for data concerning generators on the SWIS and has reported the maximum sent out capacity offered by these facilities into the Balancing Market, as of 25 November 2014. These figures may differ slightly from the number of capacity credits awarded and from facility nameplate capacity owing to factors including parasitic load and ambient temperature. For NWIS and NIS facilities, various sources have been used as there is no single definitive list of facilities. The nature of mining operations has not been investigated. The Public Utilities Office does not have access to data on the number of employees or on the closure schedule of power stations. The expected plant life of power stations is variable, a function of maintenance regimes and commercial considerations. ATTACHMENT TO QWN C1379 . 'I .

Four separate, stand-alone businesses were created from the disaggregation process. Section 188 of the Electricity Corporations Act 2005 (the “Act”) provides that, notwithstanding the repeal of the Electricity Corporation Act 1994, Western Power continues in existence for the purpose of designated functions under section 188(1) (a) of the Act. One of these functions is the preparation of an annual report for the Corporation to cover the period from 1 July 2005 to 31 March 2006. In accordance with section 188(2) of the Act, the Minister for Energy appointed me as Administrator to manage the closure of Western Power after its disaggregation on 1 April 2006. The Western Power Corporation Annual Report 2006 covers the period from 1 July 2005 to 31 March 2006 and has been prepared in accordance with section 182 of the Act.

  • Shotts Industrial Park Structure Plan Report
    Thompson McRobert Edgeloe Group SHOTTS INDUSTRIAL PARK Research, Design & Delivery of Sustainable Development 08251 August 2010 Project Management Planning Geotechnical Environmental Engineering EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Adoption The Shotts Industrial Park structure plan was adopted by Council for fi nal approval at its Meeting of the Twenty Second day of June 2010. Preamble Endorsement The Shotts Industrial Park structure plan has been endorsed by the Shire of Collie and the Western Australian Planning Landcorp is developing the Shotts Industrial Park located in the Collie Coal Basin to Commission. attract large scale industries which can value add to Collie’s existing energy and coal production. The site is located at the Shotts townsite located approximately 7.5km east of Collie. The Park will have an area of 235 hectares and is strategically positioned between the three major power stations and associated coal mines. This allows it to take advantage of existing infrastructure and supply connections including road, rail, water, power and coal. To facilitate the development of the Park an Amendment to the Shire of Collie Local Planning Scheme is required. In addition to the Amendment a structure plan has also been prepared to provide the development framework for industries in the Park. In Chief Executive Offi cer Chairman preparing the structure plan a wide range of issues have been investigated including Shire of Collie Western Australian the defi nition of the required buff ers to the Park. Planning Commission Given the Government’s desire to implement the Park as quickly as possible, the structure plan has been prepared in conjunction with the Amendment.
