❓ A parliamentary question regarding a proposed biomass plant in Bridgetown raises concerns about land rezoning, council approval, and the purchase of renewable energy from a non-existent plant. The Minister clarifies Synergy's tender process and approval requirements, deferring a question about council powers to the Minister for Local Government.

BIOMASS PLANT - BRIDGETOWN
I refer to the minister’s press release of 15 August on the biomass plant planned for Bridgetown. (1) As the land on which this proposed biomass plant is proposed to be located has not been rezoned by the Bridgetown-Greenbushes Shire Council and may never be rezoned, how is it that 40 megawatts of renewable energy has already been purchased by Synergy from a plant that does not exist? (2) Why has a year-long tender process taken place on a proposal that may never get approval from the local council? (3) As the local council has resolved that it will not proceed directly to public advertising of the amendment upon receipt of the Environmental Protection Authority advice, and has resolved that EPA advice must be assessed by council before the council determines whether to proceed with the rezoning, is this government going to override the right of the Bridgetown-Greenbushes council to determine whether this land will be rezoned? (4) Does the minister accept that the Bridgetown-Greenbushes council has the power to stop this biomass plant being built in the location that is proposed if it chooses to not rezone this land?

I thank Hon Robyn McSweeney for some notice of the question. (1) Synergy has not purchased any renewable energy from Western Australia Biomass Pty Ltd at this stage. Synergy launched a tender for the supply of up to 50 megawatts of renewable energy last year. Its tender did not specify the location for future power stations, nor the energy source. It was a competitive tender with the objective of adding renewable energy to the grid at the most competitive price, in the interests of consumers. As a result of the tender process, Synergy selected WA Biomass, which tendered to supply 40 megawatts of renewable energy. Synergy is aware that the plant requires the necessary environmental and regulatory approvals, and the contract that it has reflects this. (2) When Synergy went to tender, it was not location or energy source specific in order to attract a variety of options and, importantly, to source competitive energy for its customers. Following a thorough process, Synergy has selected WA Biomass Pty Ltd to supply 40 megawatts of renewable energy, and Waste Gas Resources Pty Ltd to supply one megawatt of renewable energy, both of which are subject to relevant environmental and regulatory approvals. (3) The proposed power station is subject to an upgraded assessment by the independent Environmental Protection Authority. This is the appropriate course of action. (4) This question should be directed to the Minister for Local Government.
