HORIZON
POWER — BUSINESS CASE STRATEGIC REVIEW
1004. Hon ROBIN CHAPPLE to the
minister representing the Minister for Energy:
I refer to Horizon Power's
part C business case strategic review program phase 2 approvals document.
(1) In C.l, from
where is the $7.2 million funding being sourced to implement the 61.5
redundancies in the regions by 2018?
(2) Is it correct
that the regional restructure will result in a further 25 FTEs in the north
west interconnected system and a further 16 if the Karratha control centre and
supervisory control and data acquisition systems are restructured?
(3) Why is the reduction in staffing
in the NWIS so much greater than other areas?

AnswerView source ↗

I thank the member for some notice
of this question.
(1) No funding is necessary because
no decision has been made on this figure.
(2) No.
(3) Not applicable.
