  • 2014-11-25 QWON Power Stations
    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 .

  • Senator CAMERON: You Say That You Are Involved in a Number of Areas
    SENATE SELECT COMMITTEE ON THE SCRUTINY OF NEW TAXES Inquiry into a carbon tax Responses to Questions on Notice – from hearing Friday 29 April 2011 in Perth. Senator CAMERON: You say that you are involved in a number of areas. I understand that carbon capture and storage is one of the models being looked at to ensure the viability of coal fired power stations in the future. How much investment has Verve Energy put into carbon capture and storage research and development? Ms In't Veld: We have been working on a project for the last three or four years. I cannot tell you the exact dollar amount but we certainly have a couple of our people very closely involved in it. We are now also working on an integrated gasification project with Mitsubishi, and that has come up in the last three or four months. CHAIR: You might like to let us know the answer to that on notice, perhaps. Ms In't Veld: Yes, it is probably best to take that question on notice because I cannot tell you the actual dollar amount. I can only say that we have been involved in this project. Senator CAMERON: Since Verve Energy has come into being, can you advise the dollar amount of what you have spent on carbon capture and storage research and development, how many people you have working on it, what you have done with the international carbon capture and storage initiative and any other carbon capture and storage work that I have not dealt with? I am just interested to know exactly what you are doing in carbon capture and storage, if anything.

South Fremantle Power Station was constructed between 1946 and 1951 as the second and largest purpose-built thermal power station in Western Australia, and contributed to the establishment of the interconnected power grid of the South West Power Scheme. South Fremantle Power Station contributed to Western Australia’s post-World War II reconstruction as a major employer of post war European migrants. The location of South Fremantle Power Station was an important influence in the development of the Kwinana Industrial area and the residential suburb of Hilton Park.
