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?
